NYCxDesign, a design festival held each May in New York City, wrapped up its 11th edition last week with a strong array of group shows across boroughs in Soho showrooms, artist studios and backyards in Brooklyn, vacant office spaces in Chinatown and galleries in between.Though officially billed as a weeklong festival beginning May 19 and anchored by the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) and WantedDesign at the Javits Center, the event circuit seemed to begin in earnest a week before, with a packed roster of adjacent art and design fairs in town including The European Fine Art Foundation (TEFAF), Frieze New York and the New Art Dealers Alliance (NADA).

Increasingly inspiring work from the exhibitors at ICFF and WantedDesign 2023, with a strong return to skilled artisanship, organic motifs, and blush tones.Check out our favorites from this year's show at the Javits Center!Best of ICFF 2023
Beautiful work at the Auda Sinda booth for their first show.

Yasuhiro Makoshi is a gargantuan man who stands five feet tall.You most likely know him.You may have taken a photo with him.For years, his photograph has hung from the rafters at the Javits Center convention hall, where exuberant New York City marathoners pick up their race packets.The image of his 30th New York City Marathon finish, with his arms raised high in victory, is an enduring photo of the race.
