Checking In On WantedDesign 2013
Now in its third year, WantedDesign is proving to be a crucial stop on the New York Design Week train.
This year, a cast of international designers brought their wares through conversation series, workshops, and a Module-R pop-up shop to the Terminal Stores for New York Design Week. From a colorful showing by Central American designers to a celebration of 40 years of Ligne Roset’s Togo, we’ve pulled together a few of the many chairs, accessories, and lights that stopped us in our tracks.
Effeti stood alone in representing kitchen design, and held their own with the showing of the BK1 and BK2 systems. Realizing that the kitchen is often integrated into living spaces, brothers Gabriele and Oscar Buratti created the systems to attractively conceal kitchen appliances.

Distinguished crystal manufacturer Saint-Louis charged three female designers (Paola Navone, Kiki Van Eijk, and Ioanna Vautrin) to design a lighting collection. The designers visited the Saint Louis archives to draw inspiration. Here, Kiki Van Eijk used a former mold to develop an interactive light that opens and closes to your desired brightness.
