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.
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.
