"Similar to the fair's Brussels edition, Collectible New York brings a traditional fair format to a non-traditional setting. This year's edition is housed on the 39th floor of WSA (last year, it covered three lower floors), spanning more than 30,000 sq. ft across the raw, concrete space. Floor-to-ceiling glass walls offer views of the neighbourhood while the space's south side has sweeping views toward Brooklyn."
"Following an open call, Debehault and Vaisberg are showcasing a wave of emerging talent. Around 60% of participating exhibitors are from the United States, while European exhibitors make up a large share of the remaining 40%. "There's a real desire for the European vibe in New York," Debehault says, noting an expanded roster that includes designers from Slovenia, Greece, Georgia, the Netherlands and Russia. Beyond the US and Europe, exhibitors this year come from Australia, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, South Korea and Turkey."
Collectible returns to the WSA building in the Financial District during Armory Week (4–7 September) for its second New York edition. The fair was established in Brussels in 2018 by Clélie Debehault and Liv Vaisberg and brings together international galleries, designers and architects to showcase 21st-century design. The New York edition occupies the 39th floor of WSA, spanning more than 30,000 sq. ft of raw concrete space with floor-to-ceiling glass and views toward Brooklyn. Around 60% of exhibitors are from the United States, with European and global participants making up the rest. The presentation is organised into six curator-led sections and highlights emerging talent discovered via an open call.
