1. July A/C (NYC)

July (the A/C company featuring pastel colored units and recently seen in Architectural Digest) markets itself as “your window’s coolest friend” - customizable A/C window units that are smart, more sustainable, and chic. Starting at $479, July is bringing their A/C units, which have a waitlist of 20,000 people, to New York City this summer. Their pop-up offers the ability to surpass that waitlist with in-store purchases and professional installation by their own white-glove service. We love this unique way to dress up your space. Check July’s A/C pop-up located inside the incredibly creative space, Coming Soon NY!
