Flora Bar Opens at The Met Breuer
Flora Bar and Flora Coffee are a new restaurant and café set on the lower level of The Met Breuer. Taking cues from the iconic building’s attributes of robust concrete, bluestone and bronze detailing, BBB’s design for the space respects Marcel Breuer’s modernist aesthetic while also incorporating the contemporary vision of restauranteur Thomas Carter and chef Ignacio Mattos.
The completion of Flora Bar and Flora Coffee is part of BBB’s larger revitalization of Breuer’s mid-century masterpiece, restoring, redesigning and transforming it into The Met Breuer.
