COLLECTIVE DESIGN FAIR
May 3 – 7 2017
Skylight Clarkson SQ
New York City

NEW YORK – April 21, 2017 – Collective Design will host its fifth fair May 3 – 7, 2017 at Skylight Clarkson Sq during NYCxDESIGN, with 28 international exhibitors and 21 special presentations. Collective Design has pioneered a new framework for a design fair, bringing together a focused, carefully curated selection of established and emerging galleries that showcase 20th and 21st century design from around the globe. With extensive educational programming and process-based designer installations, Collective Design operates as a year-round platform and resource that encourages exploration and connoisseurship of design in all its forms.

The 2017 fair will showcase collectible design for sale alongside an expanded, wide-ranging program of special programs that invite deeper understanding of the creative process. Highlights include a singular exhibition on the work of Swiss designer Mattia Bonetti, the 2017 selection for the annual Collective Influence series; the debut of five editioned objects from rising design stars, produced in collaboration with OTHR, a next-generation 3D-printing company; and a site-specific installation curated by The Noguchi Museum, pairing Isamu Noguchi’s work with that of contemporary designer Robert Stadler.
