Here at Livingetc, our contributing editor Keith Flanagan keeps his finger on the pulse of what's happening on the US design scene — and reports his findings back to us. Keith is a design expert, an editor with an exceptional eye who has a talent for spotting trends as they happen... and often just before they're about to.
Design inspiration in New York comes in numerous forms and from many places in New York, and yet the city's creative community still manages to surprise us again and again – be it with with a striking new exhibition or, in the case of this month's round-up, a cool new stone showroom (yes, we said stone showroom). In fact, Keith is seeing a boom in new materials all over the city, from a sumptuous indoor-outdoor velvet jacquard to a new bamboo leather finish for an iconic furniture piece.
