Move over Chelsea Manhattan has a new design district emerging just north of SoHo, turning the few short blocks of Bond Street, the still-cobblestoned and rather tattered industrial area (it abuts the famous Bowery), into a more stylish locale. Lobel Modern opened there just weeks ago. "We’ve more than doubled our gallery in size," says Evan Lobel, who moved his premises to 39 Bond from West 18th Street. Lobel features furnishing dating from the 1940s to the ‘80s by Edward Wormley, Tommi Parzinger, Harvey Probber and Paul Evans, and also boasts a strong representation of designs by Karl Springer.
