This weekend, the BKLYN DESIGNS contemporary furnishings show in DUMBO (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass) presented a selection of work from 55 Brooklyn-based designers & manufactures. It's still a mystery as to why the organizers continue to hold this show one week before the ICFF however it's certainly growing in scale and importance. Pictured above is 'ricky the rhino' from the critters collection by swigg, a playful side table from dyad and the amazing bent ply work of susan woods studio.

Design Can duo Jeannie Choe & Steven Tomlinson's 'Deathwish' black mirror, Manche Mitchell's 'box' shelving system, Yuichiro Nishizawa's bent plywood 'Chair #1', furthurdesign's 'glassware', the ceramic 'Triangle Bird Light' from perch!, Nicholas Furrow's 'alchemist' lamp made from cement, rubber, steel & polycarbonate, and lastly a shot looking through the Pryor & Williams stand.
