Ray-Ban House opens in New York: a new space between retail, culture and lifestyle

In the heart of Soho, the brand introduces a hybrid environment combining eyewear, design, music and hospitality.

Ray-Ban has opened the new Ray-Ban House in New York, a space located in Soho designed to move beyond the traditional retail concept and create an environment where retail, culture and lifestyle coexist within a single experience.

Located between Prince Street and Lafayette, the project was conceived as a multifunctional space bringing together design, music, food and eyewear, interpreting the dynamism and energy of the city through a more immersive and contemporary approach.

Developed by the brand’s in-house creative team, the environment features fluid interiors, metallic surfaces, mirrored ceilings and bold colour details, with an open layout mixing products, design objects, books and vinyl records.

Eyewear remains at the centre of the space, but within a broader narrative where iconic collections coexist with the more experimental proposals of Ray-Ban Studios. On the upper floor, a VIP Room is dedicated to customised and limited-edition versions of the Wayfarer model.

Ray-Ban House also includes a food area curated by chef Pasquale Cozzolino, offering an international and convivial dining concept that further reinforces the idea of an open and cross-disciplinary space.

The official opening took place on 4 May with an event featuring international artists and ambassadors, including Jennie Kim, alongside performances by Oscar and the Wolf and Daniela Lalita.

With Ray-Ban House, the brand introduces a concept that goes beyond the traditional flagship store, focusing instead on experience, cultural crossover and connection with the urban community.
