纽约商品设计公司(NYCxDesign)昨日结束了为期14天的设计周，与米兰、巴黎和斯德哥尔摩等地的竞争对手一样，它正在迅速成为一个包罗万象的设计周。不仅是一系列画廊和精品开幕，这一活动还包括一系列令人头痛的博览会，其中许多表现出令人振奋的成熟今年。这些博览会比过去几年更加全面，其中包括未来主义者的视野-看不见的东西，国际主义者想要的设计，巨型的国际当代家具博览会，当然还有集体设计博览会，它帮助一切从正确的角度开始。

在这些展厅的走道里，有珍宝有待发现。这些不仅指向了设计世界的健康状态，而且表明创新和美学被同等地考虑。从业者，从独立者到公司，继续遵循强烈的线条-从艺术装饰到孟菲斯-对几何学的迷恋，盛行；而当代对历史风格或制造商的重新想象，也引发了一场令人兴奋的新对话，就像“摆设乌托邦”的Shaker在看不见的场外重新解读一样。

在前隧道夜总会的通缉设计常出没的曼哈顿，创新似乎是游戏的名字。2016年美国设计荣誉奖得主史蒂文·豪伦贝克推出了一款新的树脂粘砂容器和塑料容器，这是在他发现芝加哥工作室旁边的青铜铸造厂丢弃海滩材质后出现的。他还展示了他的“冰铸青铜”桌子和花瓶，通过将青铜连接到冰模上，并允许熔融的物质捕捉到冰的自然碎裂的质地。

波兰最好的陈列品“极位”，展出了众多年轻设计师的作品，其中包括卡米洛设计工作室(Cmielów Design Studio)推出的华丽的“蓝色触觉”系列(Touch Of Blue)，在Chodzież有23年历史的瓷厂工作。最近与杜森·杜森(Dusen Dusen)合作开发了一款可移动的模块化墙面覆盖物的视觉磁力学公司(Visual Magnetics)，与Studio Visibility合作推出了非常有用的“极性收藏”(极性Collection)，它的特点是在一个可移动的、磁性的、可写的工作场所系统上，采用了一个新的‘Invoisi-lock’系统，包括货架、捕捉盒和标记架。

在其位于工业城的布鲁克林前哨，“想要设计”创建了一个法美文化交流项目，设计师与制造商一起设计一种新产品。在这里，Lenge-Roset与MarcThorpe合作设计了一个伞座，虽然它只是一个原型，但已经被这家成功的法国家具公司捡到了。

尽管以混合浴室设备、石英制造商和独立的设计公司而闻名，ICFF今年的发展势头强劲，它选择了一些精巧的设计产品，这些产品确实出类拔萃。香纸与被严重忽视的艺术总监韦恩·怀特(韦恩·怀特，以他在皮维剧院的布景而闻名)的合作形成了一幅厚颜无耻的田园壁画和壁纸，取名为“韦内托邦”。布鲁克林出生的照明工作室RichBrilliantWavy与大卫·罗克韦尔(David Rockwell)合作开发了三款全新的LED灯具，这些灯具采用的是重新诠释的几何造型，采用的是奢华金属。UmbraShift为其精心设计的家居配件系列增添了新的新元素，而Egg Group和Volk都推出了将专家工艺与精密设计完美结合在一起的新家具。

这也是一个重要的一周，他展示了一个性感的流线型展位，其中有一个雕塑伞和外套架，还有它的黄铜玻璃挂件和大理石“门户”桌，还有几个街区之外的豪华新陈列室/工作室的开业。
