Description

At 427 metres high, One Vanderbilt is the fourth tallest skyscraper in New York City. The appropriately named SUMMIT, is located in the top three floors of the building and as well as some of the best views of Manhattan, it is home to an immersive art experience called “Air” created by Kenzo Digital. Comprising of a number of mirrored rooms, glass boxes and reflective art, the exhibits are designed to reflect and augment the views around it.

Your journey at the top of One Vanderbilt starts in “Transcendence”: a story-driven immersive experience, mixing transparency and reflectivity to create the illusion of boundless space. Enjoy a beautiful art installation in “Reflect”: on display in the most famous art galleries across the world, “CLOUDS” is comprised of stainless-steel cloud-like shapes, designed by Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama.

Your experience then evolves and becomes interactive and playful in “Affinity” where you are invited to connect physically to the space by playing with highly reflective orbs floating around the room. Then it’s time for a thrilling experience at “Levitation”: the sky boxes allow you to step out from the envelope of the building and stand on transparent glass 1,070 feet (325 meters) above Madison Avenue, with the hustle and bustle of city streets directly beneath you. In “Unity” you are invited to become part of the space itself –your 3D face capture transformed into a cloud in a mesmerizing, infinite cloudscape display on a giant screen.

On the last floor of SUMMIT, you’ll find the sky-high lounge and café Après, featuring bespoke light fare and cocktails. Après’ offerings can be enjoyed inside the Nordic themed lounge and café or outside on the SUMMIT Terrace. The SUMMIT Terrace wraps around the south and west sides of One Vanderbilt and is the perfect open air viewing spot to take in the incredible views for up to 80 miles while toasting your experience.
