We came, we saw, we conquered. From Long Island City to DUMBO, Greenpoint, Chelsea, Tribeca, Nomad, and Soho, design took over New York this past week for NYCxDESIGN. As the widespread agenda can attest, it was a buzzy and busy week in celebration of design. This year, the week coincided with both ICFF and Shelter, which made its inaugural debut. If two fairs didn’t present enough design to see, there were also a dizzying array of exhibitions, gatherings, and talks, including AN Interior’s own 10th anniversary party held at Salvatori’s showroom. Brooklyn had a stronger showing than in past years: The programming officially kicked off in Williamsburg and then celebrated its closing night in DUMBO, a newly designated design district. Throughout all the latest products presented, the following stood out for its visual concept, craftsmanship, attention to production, and longevity. Below are the latest releases pulled from both fairs as well as the many showroom and gallery activations throughout the city that were well worth traversing boroughs to check out in-person. The Arcora by HEAKO Studio (Courtesy HEAKO Studio) Arcora and Himalaya Lunar by HEAKO Studio These refined yet playful lights from HEAKO Studio were on view at Shelter. In addition to the standing Oblique Glow light, which balances off of a skyscraper-inspired steel base, the Himalaya Lunar and the Arcora were the latest lighting from the New York–based studio. The former is a white stone affixed to an L-shaped brass pipe, finished by hand. The latter continues the geometric language with a curved aluminum body, built around an illuminating globe. It can be a sconce or tabletop lamp. A wood and leather chair on view at OUTSIDE/IN (Jonathan Hokklo) Reflect by Tanuvi Hegde Presented at OUTSIDE/IN by Lyle Gallery and Hello Human, Reflect is a chair designed for the fidgety, stimulated, and anxious. Brooklyn-based furniture designer and architect Tanuvi Hegde uses cherry wood with a hand-stitched leather cushion to craft seating embedded with a steel ball within the armrest for fidgeting. Reflect is part of Hedge’s thesis, ”Exhibit (A): Furniture for the Anxious Being,” that explores how furniture can respond to emotions and mental health. The CMPT collection resolves compact living (Courtesy Lichen/Karimoku Furniture) CMPT by Lichen and Karimoku Furniture Design platform and showroom Lichen collaborated with Karimoku Furniture at ICFF. In addition to re-introducing the ZE sofa from Karimoku’s archive, the duo launched a new collection, CMPT, that combines the latter’s craftsmanship with the former’s New York sensibilities. Designed for practicality, storage, and the limits of compact spaces, the collection begins with the Apple Box, a chestnut cube that can be stacked atop one another to create shifting consoles or compartments. Each modular box is held together by an exposed wooden peg. The collection, elegantly simple, is designed to grow with its owners throughout their life.
