New York Design Week is New York City’s official citywide celebration of design. Spanning all disciplines of design, NYDW creates a collaborative platform for cultural and commercial opportunities, elevates established and emerging design practices and increases awareness of and appreciation for design by all audiences.
Hosted in the world’s design capital, New York Design Week brings together all the disciplines of design, commerce, culture, education, and entertainment with a full, varied program, including exhibitions, installations, trade shows, talks, launches and open studios. The inaugural celebration in 2013 featured 350 events by 183 organizers at 190 venues across all of the New York City and included topics from graphic design to architecture, technology and urban design to fashion and product design, interiors to landscape, furniture to design thinking, and more.
This year’s edition will happen between May 9th to 20th and all the events will be staged across all five boroughs, from convention facilities and galleries to design schools and public parks. The NYDW website will list details for all featured events, including necessary transportation information. Check individual event listings for details.
The main events, those that everybody is waiting for, are ICFF and Wanted Design.
