Meet the 2018 WantedDesign Launch Pad, the NYCxDesign showcase of emerging design talent in the fields of furniture, decor and lighting.

We are excited to sponsor WantedDesign’s Launch Pad at WantedDesign Manhattan in May 2018 alongside Design Within Reach. This year, we will once again award TWO winners: one in furniture/accessories and one in lighting. See the list of 40+ designers here.
The Launch Pad is a place to showcase emerging design talent in the fields of furniture, decor and lighting. Launch Pad designers bring their best new designs and prototypes and a jury of industry professionals review the presentations and award the best. The Launch Pad is the perfect way for up-and-coming designers and small design brands seeking manufacturing and distribution partners to participate in NYCxDESIGN. The 2018 participants that have already been announced and voting is also now open. VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE HERE
