NYCxDESIGN

New York brings its own pace to design week, and that is part of the appeal. NYCxDESIGN gives us a reason to move between neighbourhoods, follow a recommendation and walk into a space we might never have found on our own. We are interested in the work, of course, but also in the people bringing it into the world.

The gallery openings and conversations around new collections are where it becomes personal for us. We want to know what someone is experimenting with, what they are collecting and whose work they think we should see next. A good introduction can change the whole afternoon. Our approach is to have a few things in the diary and enough space around them to let New York make its own suggestions.

Next festival: 13–20 May 2027.
