Turf Collective
By this time next year, with all the exhibitors leaving for offsite locales (hell, the Italians even went as far as the piers!), it'll be cool again to be back at the Javits. But for now, you gotta enjoy the spray of design all over the city. Taking it to another level, Turf Collective, a band of students and graduates, rented a truck, built a website, and are driving around town displaying their wares. See it all at turfcollective.com, or, if you're already prowling around, call their hotline at 718-732-2589 to find out where they're parked. Sunday night they'll be streetside outside the Vitra Showroom. (A sign that it really is all going back to the Javits next year? Vitra invited them.)
