It was a sleepy summer in New York's design scene — out-of-offices were on more often than off. But the energy is finally back. Fall has arrived with clever launches and major openings just in time for the holidays, and I’ve made it my business to see the bulk of them.
Several brands have sprung to life and launched collaborations with splashy names (like Framebridge’s collection with Farrow & Ball — four years in the making), while long-anticipated openings (like Maharam’s new Gramercy showroom, a temple to textiles) have refreshed the streets with new design destinations. All in all, the spirits are high.
