NYCxDesign 2025 Recap — A Surprising, Chaotic Sprint

Design Week in New York is always a mixed bag, and this year was no different. Our team made it to a bunch of events across the city — here’s a quick recap.

We started the week at the Pratt and Parsons grad shows. Common themes: AI, mental health, and pets. Make of that what you will.

Sherry attended her first ICFF and was glad to see that the prediction she made in 2023 in fact came true - Fat blocky furniture is indeed trending.

Like every year, the NYCxSouvenir was quirky and creative. If these candles don't say NYC, I don't kno what does.

Frog and IDSA organized a great WinexDesign night and it was great to catch up with everyone in the industry. We mostly talked about tariffs and sighed.

The DumboxDesign closing party was a blast! We were not-so-surprised  find out that Dumbo has officially been declared as the New York Design district (yay Brooklyn!)

Special mention - The Small Muji exhibit was adorable. Also gave us a chance to stock up on stationary.
