Get Some Design Inspiration for Your Interiors During NYCxDesign in May

Spring is a time to clean and refresh, and with design month approaching in May, it is also a time to grab some inspiration before tackling some interior projects.

This year NYCxDESIGN, a nonprofit that promotes the city’s creative community, is celebrating its 10th anniversary, and exhibitions, panels, open studios and trade shows will be taking place across the city from May 10 to 20.

The anchor trade shows, the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) and WantedDesign Manhattan, both run from May 15 to 17 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in Manhattan.

If you want to stay in Brooklyn, there are plenty of events to choose from. There are studio crawls in Red Hook on May 12 and at the Brooklyn Navy Yard on May 14, offering behind-the-scenes looks at design studios and some demonstrations.

The free Industry City Design Festival returns May 12 to 16 with workshops, screenings, talks, installations and exhibits.

The Radiator Show in Sunset Park showcases new furniture, lighting and other home goods in an exhibition open from May 11 to 17. For more emerging talent, the Pratt annual exhibition of student work from the School of Design, School of Architecture, and School of Art runs from May 11 to 18.

On May 14, Together We Thrive will host the outdoor Bed Stuy Black Design Market at Marcy Plaza where the work of Black designers will be available for sale along with food and music.

The same day at the Brooklyn Army Terminal, Makerspace NYC will celebrate their third anniversary as well as the opening of new studio spaces with tours and demonstrations.
