This year saw the debut of NYCxDESIGN, a 12-day citywide initiative to present New York's Design Week under one umbrella—finally—and as a result, the exhibitions gained noticeably more exposure and interest from the general public. Top on our list of favorites was Frederick McSwain and François Chambard's collaboration "Off the Grid" which presented a series of beautifully engineered design objects playing with the theme of designer camping—literally. The show runs till June 6th at Gallery R'Pure and is well worth a look if you're in town.
Other shows of note included INTRO NY, which hands-down had the best range of pendant lamps seen in one place (you get a much better sense of space in our recent post here). Bezalel Academy's traveling exhibition showcasing work from the past five years made a stop in NY, and while the projects might be a little high-concept for some, they are extremely well-executed and thought-provoking.
