Although this year’s WantedDesign Manhattan festivities are cancelled, we are still going to celebrate design and the design studios that made it onto our radar from this year’s Launch Pad participants!
If you don’t know what Launch Pad is, it’s an international platform presented by WantedDesign and Design Milk that gives emerging designers the opportunity to introduce new concepts and showcase prototypes of furniture, home accessories, and lighting to NYCxDESIGN’s audience. Every year, there are two winners, one selected for the Furniture/Home Accessories category and one for the Lighting category. In its 8th year, Launch Pad has nearly doubled to include 51 international, emerging designers and design brands exhibiting. Participants hail from the 11 countries of Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Lebanon, Mexico, the Netherlands, Uruguay and the US. New in 2020 is a program in which WantedDesign will send select designers from the US to exhibit at Design Week Mexico later in the year. The symbiotic exchange continues to fuel the ongoing growth of the design industry’s international community.
Without further ado, here are this year’s Best of Launch Pad winners, as well as a selection of design studios and independent designers who participated. See here for the full list.
