Warm-weather openings are here, including a rooftop bar inspired by the Amalfi Coast, which coincided with the design world converging at Salone in Milan.

Plus new gallery openings in Soho, Nomad, and the Upper East Side. In March, design events are multiplying along with new galleries in office buildings, apartments, and townhouses. On Bowery, a new showroom inspired by casinos and the American West displays lighting under a mirrored ceiling with steel-cut stars. Two vintage furniture dealers deck out a suite in a commercial co-op in Nomad with works from the 19th century to the contemporary era.

In December, designers are offering some distinctive lighting for the season’s shorter days, such as artist James Cherry, who makes lamps from twigs, apples, and a material he creates out of scrap paper, fabric, and resin. Another artist (and sometime Christmas-tree salesman) uses foraged materials to embellish, well, everything, from an ice-cream scooper to a trash can.
Ethereal Lamps, Fendi Furniture, and More at Design Miami

Dec 14, 2024 | curbed.com | Morgan Meier

Eighteen New York galleries headed south to this year’s Design Miami where there were notably less dogs in attendance and many more Cybertrucks. This year, curator Glenn Adamson gave participants the theme of “blue sky,” which seemed to call for risk-taking and optimism, and some saw it — “It feels alive,” one art installer noted.

Clockwise from left: So & So’s, a new piano bar; archival dining furniture from Swedish design company Svenskt Tenn, Maria Pergay’s Ring Chair, and a line of Yrjö Kukkapuro’s Experimental Chairs. The season’s turning and the leaves are falling, but in design, it’s time for a classics revival.
Frothy Gazebos, Beehive Lamps, and More Design From a Brussels Fair

Sep 7, 2024 | curbed.com | Morgan Meier

After seven successful runs in its native Brussels, the Collectible design fair makes its American debut this weekend. It picked a fittingly hip venue: FiDi’s adapted office highrise with a waitlist — the WSA building on Water Street. There, under the exposed industrial I-beams and wiring, more than one hundred galleries and designers are spread across its 3rd and 4th floors.

August in New York can often feel like a month of limbo with all the comings and goings, out-of-office replies, and galleries closed for installations. This month’s picks highlight the transient and the reemerging: A massage parlor in Chinatown is transformed into a gallery of rare decorative objects and antiques; a Lower East Side gallery run by an architecture studio returns with its first show post-pandemic; and in Red Hook, designer Piscina turns compartmentalizing into a work of art.
