We are excited to sponsor WantedDesign’s Launch Pad at WantedDesign Manhattan in May 2018 alongside Design Within Reach. This year, we will once again award TWO winners: one in furniture/accessories and one in lighting. See the list of 40+ designers here.
The Launch Pad is a place to showcase emerging design talent in the fields of furniture, decor and lighting. Launch Pad designers bring their best new designs and prototypes and a jury of industry professionals review the presentations and award the best. The Launch Pad is the perfect way for up-and-coming designers and small design brands seeking manufacturing and distribution partners to participate in NYCxDESIGN. The 2018 participants that have already been announced and voting is also now open.
