TECHNICA HOUSE - New York, a groundbreaking space created by Japanese technology companies AUTEC and Audio-Technica, arrives at 177 Lafayette Street in SoHo. This multi-functional venue seamlessly integrates food, music, fashion, and art.
At the heart of TECHNICA HOUSE is an unparalleled listening experience. Equipped with top-of-the-line Audio-Technica analog audio systems, the venue offers access to a curated library of 2,000 vinyl records, delivering rich, high-fidelity sound.
Visitors can immerse themselves in this sonic experience, enjoying the clarity and warmth of vinyl through Audio-Technica’s industry-leading equipment, which includes turntables, headphones, and speakers.
The space is more than just a listening room—TECHNICA HOUSE also offers a fully equipped conference room for meetings, a podcast studio for content creation, and a sushi counter operated by AUTEC, showcasing cutting-edge robotic sushi-making technology as well as demonstrations.
TECHNICA HOUSE is also home to SUSHIDELIC, a one-of-a-kind sushi restaurant designed by Sebastian Masuda, the renowned artist behind Japan’s “Kawaii” cultural movement. Known as the "Godfather of Kawaii," Masuda’s vibrant and whimsical design aesthetic brings a playful yet sophisticated atmosphere to the dining experience, where AUTEC’s advanced sushi machines create dishes that harmonize sound and flavor.
