Gone are all those cute and comforting jet-puffed silhouettes and audacious Memphis colors and patterns. The work exhibited during design week didn’t seem as concerned with having a sweeping (and insular) dialogue within the discipline of design. Instead, much of it explored relationships between people and the environment and borrowed the shapes, textures, and materials of the natural world to do so. The Backyard Show showcases work from more than 20 independent designers and artists in a laid-back backyard party setting in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
Petite but posh: Interior designers share their favorite small-space makeovers
If that weren’t enough, New York’s ever-expanding roster of collectible design galleries is tapping into the influx of top art collectors in town for the major fairs. Salon Design, which recently put down roots in Tribeca, will be presenting its New Waves showcase with fresh pieces by Los Angeles–based furniture design duo Laun and architect Chet Callahan; Berlin-based textile artist Elisa Strozyk; and Hawaiian photographer Sarah Lee. And Todd Merrill Studio is breaking into the retail display game with a unique activation at Bergdorf Goodman featuring work by rising star Djivan Schapira, among others. To mark the 50th anniversary of its beloved Togo sofa, Ligne Roset will be mounting a large-scale graffiti mural by artists Faust and Vexta. Spanish carpet producer Nanimarquina will activate its new Flatiron showroom with recently released products, including Haze by Begüm Cana Özgür. The Finnish Consulate, meanwhile, will host the launch of artist Matthew Day Jackson and Michael Yarinsky’s joint collaboration with nordic startup Made by Choice.
Uchronia founder designs own home as "love letter to French craft"
With two parallel exhibitions—“Red Takeover” and “Silver Dome”—Diesel Living unveiled a series of collaborations with Sassuolo, Italy-based Iris Ceramica, historic Italian furniture brand Moroso, Venetian lighting designer Lodes, and the Made in Italy modular kitchen company Scavolini. The first space, drenched in crimson, used carpeting and Iris Ceramica lacquered “Melt” tiles as the backdrop for several geometric collaborative lamps, including the future-forward hanging piece known as Modular and Megaphone, a gradient glass table lamp. The sprawling second room, with floors and walls dressed in cracked, crinkled layers of metallic silver foil, introduced furnishings produced with Moroso, like a duffle bag-inspired D-uffle Sofa in technical canvas, the comfy, curvaceous Puff-D chair, and the Camp Bed. WantedDesign Manhattan, a special ‘show within a show’ exhibition dedicated to both established and emerging designers, will return to New York’s Javits Center from May 21st — 23rd. The annual event attracts a large number of visitors each year seeking to explore the various exhibitions and programs on display.
Unlocking the Future of Design and Wellness: A Gathering of Visionaries
Here are some tips on what to see, and even what to drink, as the art fair returns to the Shed. In this guest lecture, participants will have the opportunity to hear from the Community & Equity Program Manager on Lyft’s CitiBike team, Inbar Kishoni. After spending more than 11 years at the NYC Department of Transportation, she now works on increasing access to the Citi Bike system for New York City’s most-underserved populations. To provide insight on ways to increase mobile equity within the very city that NYU students call home, Inbar will share both her perspective and experience within the urban planning and transportation sectors.
(And for a mental escape, well, just eat a few.) I enjoyed seeing how designers who have a more abstract sensibility went beyond the familiar toadstool. Faye Toogood’s latest addition to her Puffball series of lights for Matter Made, exhibited in the gallery’s new project space, actually looks like one of those puffballs that have been going viral on TikTok. The jewelry designer Silvia Furmanovich launched a new home-goods line with wooden platters that looked like turkey tail fungi, and some veered into the grotesque. Bungalow, a new art and design gallery, exhibited Ellen Pong’s Golden Teacher, a floor light (shown earlier this year in Pink Essay’s extremely excellent “Home Around You” exhibition) with a maitake-esque shade and a thorny stem. Even Jenna Lyons (yes, that Jenna Lyons) riffed on a shroom for a lamp in her first furniture collection, produced in collaboration with Roll & Hill.

It’s been 10 years since Charlotte Macaux Perelman and Alexis Fabry first took over Hermès Maison as creative directors—so it was only fitting that the presentation of their latest collection this week should artfully blur the lines between past and present. As the Salone del Mobile design fair opens its doors in the suburb of Rho this week, it served as the smoke signal that Milan Design Week has officially begun. And just as compelling as the furniture displays presented in the convention halls of Fiera Milano are the various Fuori Salone projects springing up around the city—many of them coming courtesy of the world’s most esteemed fashion houses. Crafting Dreams brings together a seemingly endless collection of Louis Vuitton’s most celebrated creations in New York. Visitors will have the chance to explore Objets Nomades design objects, hard-sided trunks, timepieces, fine jewelry, and leather goods.
NYCxDesign 2023
Design pioneer Patrick Parrish showcases the experimental, colour-drenched work of Dutch artist and designer Bertjan Pot in the latter’s first solo exhibition on US soil. Known for his wild and imaginative masks and lighting designs, Pot’s unique approach to structure, pattern and colour comes together in intricate and wondrous ways. Fueled by curiosity while pushing function and materiality to its limits, Pot wields a wide range of materials, from grass and rope to industrial elements, with an equal delicacy and dexterity. Butler & Co have always presented design in such a totally New York way,’ says Jes Paone, the Brooklyn-based designer and architect whose ceramic light fixtures are currently housed in the architectural hardware showroom’s elegant front windows. Paone’s latest work includes two new pieces in his Desert series, which have been made using a unique fabrication technique pioneered by his aunt, ceramicist Anne Paone. Highly textured and paired with blackened brass hardware, the new Desert table lamp and Desert pendant designs are each one of a kind when realised in the Negative Finish.
Public Art Reveal
Like Milan, New York’s contribution to the annual design calendar is rapidly reemerging as a platform for established brands, dynamic start-ups, independent talents, and thriving collectives. Flat-packed furniture usually gets a bad rap, but certainly not in the case of Bassam Fellows’ latest design for the Asian furniture brand, Stellar Works. Nodding to cafe chairs of mid-19th century Vienna and the cafe culture of Shanghai in the 1920s, the American design studio has created Pagoda - a collection of chairs that mixes comfort with efficiency. Reduced to the essentials, each chair is comprised of just six components; a curved seat, a rounded back and four legs. The seat, in particular, draws from the idea of ‘oneness’ in Chinese culture, while its arching arms subtle reference pagoda gates while imbuing the chair with an enveloping shape.
Meet French Artist Franck Evennou at Maison Gérard
This workshop will feature archival materials from the Poly Archives related to the planning and design of MetroTech Center (late 1980s - early 1990s). Workshop participants will view a variety of formats including photographs, maps, architectural renderings, sites plans, and a three dimensional model. Using the archival materials as our foundation, we'll explore the ways in which MetroTech developed, discuss social and economic impacts, and ultimately consider how our built environment, which seems so stable, is rife with conflict, choices, and change. We will also feature former Tandon student Joel Ureña's (IDM '20) senior design project, which used images from the Poly Archives. Assembly Line, the retail storefront helmed by the interior design studio General Assembly, is a worthy design destination in Brooklyn on its own, but as a complement to the artisan-led rug company Salam Hello, its innate celebration of craftsmanship truly sings.
Independently staged and often designer-led, these curated showcases are rife with discovery and inspiration, not least because of their exclusive and often unseen locales. The Public Access exhibition furthers design collective Furnishing Utopia's project of looking at novel ways that designers can create for a community. The event will include both an indoor exhibition at Head Hi near the Brooklyn Navy Yard and an outdoor component at the nearby Naval Cemetary Landscape. Design platform WantedDesign Manhattan will return as part of ICFF at the Javits Center, while furniture brand Stellar Works will partner with electronics company Sony for a large-scale installation in its showroom. Unlike other festivals, NYCxDesign—also known as New York Design Week—doesn’t confine itself to any one venue, but rather fans out across the city in a massive celebration of design, architecture, and objects. With hundreds of events at hundreds of locations, NYCxDesign offers a comprehensive window on contemporary trends and production.
Taking over the multidisciplinary space Colbo, a record shop, cafe and boutique all rolled into one, Areaware presented the Pluma Stools by Steve Bukowski, Sophie Collé’s Splat Side Tables in new colours, new lamps by Talbot & Yoon as well as planters by Chen & Kai and Sam Bigio. The homegrown lighting company RBW worked with the industrial designer Jonathan Damon to create Highline, an adaptable linear system that fuses together flexibility with the eye-catching nature of a decorative fixture. Suspended on a slim, linear beam, three accent fixtures can be selected based on one’s need; a cone pendant looks sleek, the dual-axis swivel light creates a movable spotlight while the felt shade imbues warmth. The brand also unveiled Topo, an upcoming flush mount collection which uses a composite material made out of cement and wood particles, that has not been used in lighting or furniture design before. Founder Susan Clark presented all new Radno̲r Made work from artists and designers Clark, Bunn Studio and Adam Rogers as well as exclusive Radno̲r Represented pieces from Abigail Booth, Toshio Tokunaga and Fong Brothers Company. Melding the best of both worlds, the Invisible Collection filled its Upper East Side townhouse with pieces from the French design studio, Galerie May.

The cloud-like fluffiness created by Nuée’s material—”a three-dimensional technical weave produced with a technology Foscarini has applied for the first time in the lighting sector”—makes every one of these poetic orbs of light changeable and unique. The Barcelona-based rug brand nanimarquina inaugurated its new New York flagship with a presentation of new designs from Ronan Bouroullec, Begüm Cânâ Özgür, and Matthew Hilton. The three new collections experiment with the rug medium in different ways; Bourellec’s geometric design riffs on ancient kilim techniques, Hilton’s Oblique toys with the idea of overlaying rugs on top of each other while Özgür juxtaposes vibrant colours to harmonious effect. New York Design Week 2023, also known as NYCxDesign, engulfed the Big Apple this week (closing yesterday, 25 May). This year’s iteration was stronger than ever, not least because two major tentpoles of the design festival, the International Contemporary Furniture Fair and Wanted Design, were brought together under the unified direction of Wanted Design co-founders Claire Pijoulat and Odile Hainaut.
Designers such as Detroit-based Aleiya Olu and local Kouros Maghsoudi will display pieces alongside the gallery's spring show, which features colourful abstract paintings, a move the curators said was made to move away from the "white box space". Gallery and media studio Sight Unseen is showcasing work by 23 designers at the Voltz Clarke gallery in the Lower East Side, including work from its in-house collaboration with Best Case. Using materials informed by brutalist council blocks in the UK, Ross has infused each piece with colour. Sculptures will be shown alongside early sketches of the works, marking one of the first times the designer has revealed this aspect of his process. Located on the strip between the Canal and Grand streets, the showcase will open up all of the local studios – also including Bocci, Roll + Hill, Atelier de Troupe and Henrybuilt – to create a sense of a larger event and mix street and gallery culture in one afternoon. The design week in New York City begins this week, with events and programming oriented around institutions such as the NYCxDesign festival and the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF).
Herman Miller Vintage Pop-Up celebrates 100 years of Herman Miller with a rare peek into its archives. The flagship store at 251 Park Avenue South will also offer new and limited-edition products like the Alexander Girard collection of posters. For more details on inclusion in Dezeen Events Guide, including in our guide to NYCxDesign, email [email protected]. The seminars will be held between three locations on Lexington Ave on May 20th, May 22nd, and May 23rd — see the full list of events here. The project will be on view at Penny Williamsburg hotel, 288 N 8th St. from May 20th — 22nd. The exhibition will be held at Stellar Works’ New York showroom at 304 Canal Street from May 18th — 25th.
“We actually had many designs with Queens across the chest,” Goldberg told The Athletic. Goldberg estimated the Mets and Nike went through 25 or 30 designs before landing on the one unveiled Friday. Benesh, the Mets’ executive director of consumer products, carried with him a half-dozen swatches sent by Nike to compare with the purple circle on every 7-line sign. While there is an official, mandated purple of the 7 line, this is the subway, and the execution of that purple varies stop by stop. Inspired by the Testa di Moro ceramics, la Testa di Marmi is a reinterpretation of the icon that has adorned Sicilian balconies for centuries. 001TDM is the result of Berenice Curt’s fascination with the head in all its shapes and artistic expressions, and is seen here exhibited in the Garden of Villa Borsani, Alcova.
