NYCxDESIGN: Linhardt Design Studio Sneak Peek
Sculpted from denim-blue wood-based resin, the anthropomorphic cabinet featured two folded hands as doors and a blobby silhouette for the shelves above it. The copper benches and chairs by Soren Ferguson at Matter’s sprawling new showroom above its Broome street gallery had rough edges and patinated surfaces that look like a serendipitous accident from the welding process. At Wanted, Jaeyeon Park, a recent Cranbrook graduate, exhibited Jimmy, a series of two mangled and twisted resin chairs painted in neon yellow and orange. They were inspired by “La Ballade de Jim,” an uptempo cover by the French synth-pop group Paradis of Alain Souchon’s 1985 song about a man who gets drunk and crashes his car after his girlfriend breaks up with him. One of the stranger and ultimately more fascinating works I saw was Max McInnis’s Ray chair at Jonald Dudd, a show that is always design week’s most conceptual exhibition. McInnis usually works with found objects that are Frankensteined together with an industrial binding material.
NYCxDESIGN Opening Night After Party
Setting these forward-thinking works against a backdrop of Danish design classics is purposeful and demonstrates the connection between the considered use of materiality and superior workmanship to withstand time. This year is no different, with the signature Launch Pad showcase highlighting the work of 46 emerging designers from around the world – more than twice as many as last year. WantedDesign is also launching a new schools exhibition, this year including Rhode Island School of Design, Rochester Institute of Technology, School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Michael Graves College at Kean University, Pratt Institute, and School of Visual Arts. New York City’s annual design festival, NYCxDesign, returns with a bang this month and a more diverse and designer-led programme than ever before. Just six months since its last iteration, this 2022 edition of New York Design Week (10 – 20 May) also marks the festival’s tenth anniversary. With open-studio design crawls off the beaten path, a vibrant array of exhibitions and, of course, the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) – which again joins forces with WantedDesign Manhattan to take place at the Javits Center – there will be plenty to see all over the city.
Bogotá Design Festival 2024
While there were so many brilliant and exhilarating works in this year’s strange edition of NYCxDesign, it was Palais des Glaces, a collaborative installation by Lambert & Fils and Atelier Zébulon Perron, that transported me most of all. The atmospheric installation at Lambert & Fils newish Tribeca showroom was composed of pillar candles hanging off steel structures that riffed on New York’s scaffolding and set atop tall monolithic candlesticks. The Montreal-based lighting company opened its space last year but wasn’t able to host a housewarming until now. The candles had been burning for hours by the time I entered the dark showroom, and trails of melted wax careened down the side of the candlesticks, hardening into oozing shapes that morphed throughout the evening.
Par Excellence presents “Chromatic” featuring Gregory Lacoua
Danish textile giant Kvadrat will reveal a special Sahco installation within its Park Avenue flagship. Repping the Americas, Philadelphia master metalworker John Pomp is entering the textile game with the new The Portal Rug Collection, developed in partnership with Kyle Bunting. (The new product range will debut at his recently opened 200 Lexington showroom.) And major manufacturer HBF has teamed up with Alda Ly Architecture to debut the latter’s first furniture collection, Bao. Milan’s Salone del Mobile and Fuorisalone have resumed to their original time in April, and NYCxDesign—that is, New York’s design week—is now back this month with an impressive list of activations to boot.

Viso Project opened the doors to its first permanent space in Brooklyn’s Dumbo neighborhood this week. Known for drawing inspiration from the art and design worlds, the lifestyle label’s array of exquisitely made blankets, pillows and accessories are equally matched by the eclectic atmosphere of its new home. Featuring an installation designed by the Madrid-based firm Casa Antillon, visitors to the multidisciplinary showroom-gallery-retail space will be treated to never-before-seen Viso products and new collaborative pieces spanning furniture and objects. The all-encompassing collection of Deco-inspired furniture, lighting, and accessories, which celebrated the design aesthetic of the 1960s, married handcrafted materials and machine precision. The wares were dramatically staged within the practice’s palatial Midtown studio, where no detail went overlooked. Apparatus also mounted Mums, a three-night jazz club featuring award-winning band the Baylor Project.

For anyone interested in venturing further afield, Manitoga, the home, studio and estate of the industrial designer Russel Wright, is hosting an exhibition of works by Studio Formafantasma. Installed within Dragon Rock, Wright’s historic architectural home made from stone, wood and glass embedded into the landscape (also a national historic landmark), Formafantasma’s objects riff off the relationship between the manmade and natural worlds on multiple levels. Made possible by Magazzino Italian Art, the show features several of Formafantasma’s early pieces, which were specifically chosen to reiterate themes already present at Dragon Rock, be it architectural philosophy or aspects of Wright’s practice. The first site-specific installation from the Italian duo on US soil, this is one not to be missed. The work of 12 members of the Female Design Council is on display in a celebration of craftsmanship, process and design at Carl Hansen & Søn. Curated by the council’s founder, Lora Appleton, ‘Craft in Transition’ brings together a contemporary collection of female-created work that showcases colour, innovation and a unique point of view, in a bid to bring women to the forefront of dialogues around design.
The event will feature artisans from our Japan Chapter and will include a series of seminars highlighting architectural preservation (Minka), and demonstrating traditional ikebana floral design, calligraphy, ceramics, the art of tea, and the development and design influences of Chinoiserie. Available Items will display an installation of Ecophilia objects designed by Boym in the courtyard of the new Penny Williamsburg hotel. The exhibit will include a recently published book titled ‘Ecophilia’, which includes illustrations and instructions for building and installing each piece, along with a foreword by architect and environmentalist James Wines. Among today’s leading photographers, Iwan Baan is best known for capturing works of architecture and urban design. Through his lens, he documents the evolution of bustling cities around the world and showcases the works of prominent contemporary architects such as Herzog & de Meuron, Rem Koolhaas, and Zaha Hadid. Iwan Baan’s distinctive style of vibrant realism highlights the connection between people and their surroundings, while his expansive perspective offers a comprehensive overview of the importance of architecture and urban design in our lives.
More than a century ago, in Northern Italy’s Biella Alps, Ermenegildo Zegna commenced a reforestation project around his wool mill, throughout an area known today as Oasi Zegna. Since the Zegna founder embarked on this vast undertaking, more than 500,000 trees have been planted and nurtured in an area that stretches some 100 square kilometers. A second-floor terrace also allowed visitors to stroll around—and reflect upon—one tree at the heart of an open-air courtyard. In tandem with this, Zegna also took over custodianship (for the next three years) of the flowerbeds at Milan’s most recognizable architectural structure, Piazza Duomo, decorating the popular tourist destination with flora reminiscent of Oasi Zegna. Taking place across all five of New York City's boroughs, the annual festival NYCxDesign aims to showcase the diverse talent of local artisans and designers.
It highlights new kinds of iterative, interdisciplinary teamwork using cutting-edge tools of rapid prototyping and digitally driven production. You will have the opportunity to contribute to an exciting laser-cut city by customizing a miniature figure that will be placed around the model. The model itself will feature creative elements to represent a city including skyscrapers, basketball courts, trees, lamp posts, phone booths, benches, and more! The installation will be featured throughout Design Week 2022 to highlight the power of unity as a force for change in designing more equitable and inclusive cities.
A play on the Chinese word ‘bao’ – a homonym for bun, bag, precious, and baby, the collection is sculptural in silhouette yet simple in its construction and was conceived to bridge the gap between formal and informal, sedate and lively. The Czech glass and design company Lasvit lit up the halls of the Javits Center with a pair of new collaborative collections. David Rockwell has created ‘Constellation’, a design inspired by the iconic celestial skyscape that adorns the ceiling of Grand Central Station, while Yabu Pushelberg has created ‘Miles’, an elegant light form inspired by jazz, and the parallels drawn between glass blowing and making music. With plenty of independent exhibitions and several recent showroom openings, including Nanimarquina and Lladro, the year’s design showcase was more vibrant and varied than the years past.
The exhibition also features interactive demonstrations and opportunities to personalize pieces with the Maison’s artisans. The NYU Tandon MakerSpace is a cutting edge lab that aims to foster collaborative design projects. It features rapid prototyping and PCB production equipment, as well as advanced machining and testing capabilities. The MakerSpace hosts the Design Lab which provides NYU students with opportunities to ideate, experiment, prototype, and build their ideas. It nurtures their creative confidence, encourages collaboration, and connects them with other parts of the NYU Innovation and Entrepreneurship ecosystem, thus fostering a community of creative technologists, critical thinkers, and social innovators.

Emblem Paris is a celebration of France’s design rather than New York’s—but its first American showroom, unveiled this week, became a toast to both. Also on exhibit was her Feast armchair and side chair upholstered in “Fruitleather,” a new material made from wasted mangos in Rotterdam. The collection won an ICFF Editors Award and was inspired by Bowen’s interest in sailing on the Long Island Sound. To understand the material and establish certain constants on which I could build a rhythm. To embrace its peculiarities and accept its unpredictability,” Anastassiades said in a release. “Upbeat” is a shift from Michael’s usual industrial and material-focused work, as each piece was produced entirely within the studio—without the aid of industrial fabrication methods.
