New York Design Week is one of my favorite times of the year. I look forward to it every spring—to finding inspiration and discovering new artists to share with my clients. This year’s NYCxDESIGN didn’t disappoint. Whether it was the collective exhibition Next Level, showcasing incredible works nestled in an industrial sea of shredded tires; the outdoor sculptural furniture show Inside/Out, offering a breath of fresh air in an elevated park at The William Vale in Brooklyn; or the Tiny House in Times Square that Fernando Mastrengelo designed as a peaceful moment amidst all of the midtown chaos, there was no shortage of eye candy. In case you missed it, here are some of the standouts from Next Level, Inside/Out, ICFF, Brooklyn Designs, and Wanted.
