…and so begins our 2012 New York Design Week coverage! First up is Model Citizens NYC, a show I also attended last year. Now in its fourth year, the show had a few gems situated in an awkwardly large space… I preferred last year’s space, but this year there was a lot more to see.

Hated having to take an elevator up to the hot 4th floor, but was happy to be greeted by this.

The Tambour Table by Michael Bambino that we featured this morning!

Chair from the University of Pennsylvania Architecture department

Goodjoy hooking toothbrushes

Loved this smoke pillow by Studio DKS

Shapeways had some cute stuff, including these teeny tiny chairs. I wish I’d stuck my finger in the photo for scale. They were so small!

I loved this geometric hot pink bracelet and these stone rings:

And, of course, this necklace, because I probably use the word “awesome” in my vocabulary 100 times a day.
