On the Floor with Core: Sight Unseen Offsite 2018’s 201 Mulberry Location

Sight Unseen Offsite’s main location at 201 Mulberry may have downsized compared to last year, but the quality of works shown at the crowd favorite show remained high. This year’s show was heavily focused on unexpected collaborations, including the mini show-within-a-show Field Studies, which paired celebrities with designers to create surprising results. Think a mirror designed by Bower and Seth Rogan and a piano designed Wall for Apricots and Jason Schwartzman. Other collaborations shown include furniture by Kim Markel and Glossier, a room designed by Levi’s Made and Crafted in partnership with various designers, Norway x New York and Hotel Tonight x Steven Bukowski and Hannah Bigeleisen.

Field Studies - Harry Nuriev x Liam Gillick Field Studies brings together the minds of designers with well-known figures of various creative fields, some of whom have never designed objects before. Liquid Collusion is a series of milti-colored floor lamps by Harry Nuriev and artist Liam Gillick who is known for his glass panels.

Apparently moments before we arrived at the show, Schwartzman was tuning the instrument himself!
