Craft and Collaboration at Wanted Design 2016
WantedDesign is a unique destination during NYCxDesign in two parts with one location in Manhattan’s west side and a second location in Brooklyn’s industrial Sunset Park, focused on providing a platform for emerging designers, student work and dedicated to highlighting the global design community through a series of curated international pavilions which this year included Argentina, Mexico, Norway, France, Tunisia, New Zealand, Colombia, Poland and the Netherlands. A common thread of attention to craft and collaboration brings together the diverse exhibitors.
At WantedBrooklyn, we were excited to see the results of WantedDesign’s annual Design Schools Workshop—sponsored by Core77 and judged by our very own Allan Chochinov—featuring the work of 27 international students. At WantedManhattan this year, the spotlight was on Chicago-based designer Steven Haulenbeek who won the second American Design Honors award for his beautiful, interdisciplinary work.
