Dumbo NYC

BKLYN DESIGNS 2007, NY’s hippest design show, will return to Dumbo, Brooklyn, May 11 - 13, 2007. The annual three-day exhibition will feature the borough’s top established and emerging designers of contemporary indoor and outdoor furniture, rugs, lighting and accessories. A record-breaking BKLYN DESIGNS line-up of 64 exhibitors, including 30 newcomers and 35 show veterans will launch their 2007 spring collections. This year will have several exhibitors with sustainable products and green solutions.

St. Ann’s Warehouse will serve as the show hub but as we’ve seen in the past, the entire Dumbo neighborhood will be alive with events, gallery openings and parties. This show kicks off the many summer events and festivals that occur in the neighborhood. Bklyn Designs exhibitors are selected by a jury, which includes prominent designers as well as editors from leading design and shelter magazines. The show gives attendees a chance to be among the first in the world to see the new design trends as they are being set. Many of the trends show up in more mainstream furniture retail stores a year later. A must for art, design, and architecture lovers!
