Sage + Sound is a new wellness destination. Originally envisioned as a wellness marketplace, the founders wanted to create a destination for the best wellness brands, services, and treatments under one roof. They also wanted the guests to experience a curated program of products and self-care practitioners in a revitalizing and rejuvenating environment. The multi-offering space features a café, a study, a nail salon, and spa rooms. It is designed so that guests can enjoy the feeling of relaxation induced by warm neutral tones, oak floors, Venetian plaster walls, and luxurious furnishings. Tunable lighting throughout allows customization of light levels and moods in each zone, creating a serene spa-like setting for visitors and contributing to a sustainable environment.

The project, located in the heart of NYC, creates a dynamic contrast with its surrounding urban landscape. As you enter the space, you transition from the city's hustle into a decompression zone that immediately offers a sense of calm and serenity. This carefully designed environment appeals to all five senses, offering a stark yet refreshing opposition to the external bustle. The sound is mitigated, creating a peaceful auditory backdrop. The lighting is serene, soothing the eyes with a gentle ambiance. Fresh, local food tantalizes the taste buds and fills the air with inviting aromas. This harmonious interplay between the project and its urban context provides a holistic and rejuvenating customer experience, making it a serene oasis amidst the city's chaos.

Sage + Sound is New York’s newest destination for the best wellness brands, services, and treatments under one roof. At Sage + Sound, guests can experience a curated program of products and self-care practitioners.

Upon entering the retail space, guests are greeted by the custom curved feature wall, walnut displays, and a free-standing sink to use when testing products. On the north side, the Isle of Us café offers guests delicious and healthy food options at the made-to-order counter or in the marketplace. On the south side, Sunday's nail salon pampers guests with spa-quality nail services based on non-toxic practices. Guests can retreat toward the back of the space for a guided meditation class or sound bath in The Study, a dedicated classroom for wellness programming. Five private treatment rooms allow for an individualized spa experience.
The space is designed so guests can relax with warm neutral tones, oak floors, Venetian plaster walls, and luxurious furnishings. Tunable lighting throughout allows complete customization of light levels and moods in each zone, creating a serene spa-like setting for visitors and contributing to a sustainable environment.

Sage + Sound has become popular for its offerings like special practitioner speakers, workshops, and classes around mental health and wellness. The Study hosts between five and seven classes a day. The space has generated buzz for being featured in The Zoe Report, Nylon Magazine, the Today Show, and many others.

Wellness plays an important role in the daily lives of Co-Founders Lacey Tisch + Lauren Zucker. The brand is curated with what the owners deem as the best products, practitioners and healers to foster “a community of anyone looking to improve their quality” of life. “The goal is to deliver self-care in a revitalizing, approachable and judgment free-environment.”
