Five Events at NYCxDesign This Weekend
From kinetic installations to all-women shows, plenty of pop-ups across the city
Scheduled for the middle of May each year, NYCxDesign turns the city into a walkable, exhibition-ladened activation. From retail pop-ups and concept restaurants to larger-than-life installations and gallery shows, there’s a diverse and immense group of talent on show. Big shows like WantedDesign and ICFF are always worth visiting, but here are a few smaller events worth checking out this weekend.
Herman Miller: A Way of Living Book Launch and Exhibition Opening
Officially opening 19 May, Herman Miller‘s NYC flagship welcomes an exhibition to coincide with the launch of their new monograph, Herman Miller: A Way of Living. The company’s corporate archivist, Amy Auscherman, explains the installation as “hundreds of items from our own archive—a lot of graphic design posters, ephemera, catalogs and artifacts that are all being installed.” For fans of the company and design enthusiasts alike, there will be never-before-seen images and items alongside plenty more. “It’s kind of like the book in real-life in a way,” she continues. The flagship store is located at 251 Park Avenue South and the exhibition runs through the summer.
magCulture’s Pop-Up Inside Vitsœ
Arguably the internet’s most unabashed admirer of independent print magazines, magCulture brings 100+ international offerings from their inventory to Vitsœ’s space in Greenwich Village. From Cereal and OH-SO-CO to Victory Journal and Apartamento, there are so many wonderful options to flip through (and purchase). Whether you sit in the quiet, sunny space and flip through a couple or pick a few to take with you to read in a coffee shop nearby (Stumptown is across the street), this pop-up is a worthy pit stop for between activations. magCulture will occupy the space, 17 West 8th Street, until 1 June.
