Vessel's journey from concept to icon began with British designer Thomas Heatherwick and Heatherwick Studio. The vision was to create a landmark that was more than just a sculpture – an interactive experience that would draw people in and allow them to see their surroundings, and each other, from new perspectives.

Construction of the 150-foot-tall structure involved an intricate assembly process, with its pre-fabricated steel components arriving at the Hudson Yards site and meticulously fitted together. The unique honeycomb design, resembling a beehive or a monumental basket, quickly captured the public's imagination, becoming synonymous with the ambitious development of Hudson Yards.

Since its opening in 2019, Vessel has been a significant draws, anchoring the Public Square and Gardens and offering a distinct architectural statement in the NYC skyline. Its playful yet monumental presence reflects the spirit of innovation at the core of Hudson Yards.
