Curatorial note
Seen at the right, the SONDER signage anchors the composition within a timber-framed foyer. The white wheeled luggage in the foreground frames the choreography of arrivals and departures, while the plant and seating register the space as a waiting threshold. Acquired December 2025, this piece frames the lobby as a threshold where hospitality architecture and public life converge in the Rittenhouse neighborhood.
