Stalwart of American Makers WantedDesign Opening a New Store in NYC

A longtime platform for new designers—offering forums, workshops, and more—WantedDesign is set to further solidify its Brooklyn presence with a permanent store stocked with U.S.-made and designed products.

The store's Industry City digs (220 36th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11232) are industrial in architectual style and function: companies like Juniper Design are based within its nearly six million square feet of space. Industry City will also be a part of WantedDesign's NYCxDesign events in May 2016.

The MLamp from Juniper Design was inspired by iconic English coal miners' lights—though this mobile source of illumination uses efficient LEDs and its integrated battery can recharge 2,000 times without degrading.

As with all of their locations, WantedDesign's new store will support of a range of events, including special holiday gift sales or products from guest countries. Some foreign products are already on display, such as these Opinel knives from France. In 1985 the V&A museum selected the Opinel knife as one of the 100 best designed objects in the world.
