Today, Times Square represents the literal definition of high-density visual saturation. It accounts for 10% of New York City’s jobs and an incredible 11% of its entire economic output, glowing so brightly that astronauts can easily identify it from space. But at the turn of the 20th century, this legendary intersection was nothing more than a muddy horse-carriage trading outpost known as Longacre Square.

​The massive shift began in 1904, when Adolph S. Ochs, owner of The New York Times, decided to build a soaring, 25-story skyscraper right at the center of the junction. To celebrate the newspaper's new headquarters, Ochs successfully convinced the city to rename the area "Times Square" and threw a massive New Year’s Eve celebration complete with an unprecedented fireworks display.

​When the city banned traditional fireworks a few years later, Ochs didn't give up he hired a master metalworker to build a giant, 700-pound ball made of iron and wood, illuminated by one hundred 25-watt lightbulbs, creating the world's most famous countdown tradition.

​The evolution of Times Square is a story of layered light, overlapping advertisements, and constant motion. Our kaleidoscope and radial mosaic collections reflect this exact cultural energy, layering iconic city views into rich, interwoven grids that mimic the bright neon canyons of modern Manhattan.
