We have just wrapped our selection of highlights from the 23rd annual Design Week. The grand event set the stage of New York City’s Jacob K. Javits Convention Center with what’s best in design for the year 2011.
As usual, the city’s most anticipated furniture and product design event of the year greeted design hunters all around with shows, exhibitions and parties to remember. The International Contemporary Furniture Fair rose above our expectations, delivering lots of fun and innovative works of art. Noho Design District and Satellite Shows also set the stage for intriguing and mind blowing exhibits that will definitely raise the bar for this year’s interior and product design.
