Design show returns to DUMBO
Cutting-edge furniture, lighting, ceramics
After two years, the BKLYN DESIGNS show came back to Brooklyn this past weekend, specifically to St. Ann’s Warehouse.
The show, which features exhibits by more than 35 Brooklyn-based furniture, lighting, ceramics, tabletop and other home-based designers, was sponsored by the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce, with support from the West Elm furniture store, New York magazine, inHabitat magazine and others.
Several speakers, including Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce President Carlo Scissura and Borough President Marty Markowitz, noted that this year’s show was the kickoff for NYCx Design Week. This, they said, is yet another indication that Brooklyn is now “the” place to be when it comes to fashion and the arts.
