Industry City
Industry City is the newest creative destination to join New York City’s design party. Located in Sunset Park in south Brooklyn, and home to many of the city’s design companies, the developing neighbourhood – which is formed by a 6 million sq ft cluster of warehouses – has teamed up with Wanted Design to lure visitors out of Manhattan. One installation of note comes from WorkOf, a digital portal that connects interior designers with independent makers, which has created a dream apartment featuring the wares of Souda, Workstead and Calico Wallpaper. Have your shopping list ready.
Industry City, 220 36th Street, Sunset Park, Brooklyn, NY 11204

De La Espada
Luca Nichetto is having a moment. Not only are new works by the Italian designer popping up at Casamania and Seletti this week, he is adding several new pieces to the ’50/50′ collection that he created for De La Espada. The range, which debuted in February in Stockholm, first launched with the ‘Elysia’ lounge chair and is now being followed up with the inviting ‘Stanley’ sofa and dynamic ‘Laurel’ coffee and side tables. Presented alongside a capsule collection of geometric, wearable assemblages by fashion designer Yulia Kalashnikova, the expanded range is much anticipated.
