The Collective Design Fair 2017 is an opportunity to explore the significance of design and art across creative disciplines and everyday life.
The Collective Design Fair 2017 has taken a place in New York. For its fifth edition, the Collective Fair brought together a curated selection of design-focused galleries from around the world. Their booths are mixed with site-specific installations by local designers and museums.
This year, the fair has run from 3 to 7 May 2017 at Skylight Clarkson Square, 550 Washington Street, New York, as part of the citywide New York Design Week which is continuing until 23 June 2017.
The Collective Design Fair 2017 presents an exciting program of special installations, curator-led tours, and Collective Conversations featuring artists, gallerists, educators and cultural innovators exploring vital topics in the field of culture. We selected for you three of the best 2017 showcases:

FAIR
In October 2014, Interior Designer Brad Ford set up a modern makers craft fair in upstate New York called Field + Supply. The focus was on modern, elevated craftsmanship showcasing artisans from the Hudson Valley area as well as makers who work in New York City and Brooklyn. FAIR is an extension of that concept and is now a permanent showroom at the New York Design Center. It is more edited and elevated than the original event, but the focus remains on high-end, handcrafted design and craft.

R & COMPANY
R & Company represents a distinguished group of historical and contemporary designers whose work is among the most innovative and finely crafted of their time. Zesty Meyers and Evan Snyderman founded R & Company in 1997 to realize their combined goal of promoting a closer study, appreciation and preservation of 20th and 21st century design.

GARRIDO GALLERY
Preserving the art of silversmithing is a family legacy for the Garrido, begun by Damián fifty years ago and carried on today by his two children, Juan and Paloma. The result of their dedicated approach is not only a product of the highest level of quality but also one of innovation and modernity.
