Design Highlights from NY Now 2016

Design Highlights from NY Now 2016

After a busy Tuesday morning at the studio, I stepped out to have a quick glance at NY Now design market that rounds up at the Javits Center this week: for a new installment of fresh design talent from around the world. A casual visitor is challenged to grasp a common theme this year, but, as I took a moment to speak to a number of industry specialists and designers, one interesting observation stood still,  — every studio is struggling not to bore the customer. Here’re some of my favorite pieces at the show this year.
