New York: Brooklyn Represents
You’d have to be living under a rock to not have noticed that the Brooklyn design scene is completely flourishing. BKLYN DESIGNS is putting on it’s 7th annual exhibition showcasing the best and brightest designers and manufacturers of contemporary furnishings, lighting, and accessories made and/or designed in Brooklyn. Everything has been handpicked by a jury of editors from leading design and shelter magazines. Not only a design show, BKLYN DESIGNS packs the streets of DUMBO with a diverse array of satellite exhibits, demonstrations, panel discussions, keynote speakers and numerous design related after parties. The list of exhibitors is amazing, and the variety of programs and events occurring is really great, with a number of offerings to satisfy both kids and design savvy adults.

More this way...
I was at BKLYN design on Sunday- we go every year and enjoy it immensely. Not this year, however.
A comment on the exhibit being child friendly– my 5 month old was very hungry and I went to a corner where there was no booth, and out of the way of others to feed her. I sat down on a random chair that was placed in the corner (it was not part of an exhibit), when a security guard came up and insisted I get up, she “needed the chair”. Have you tried to stop feeding a hungry baby? I stood up and continued to feed the baby from a standing position. The security guard stood over the chair like it was the most precious piece of furniture and 5 minutes later, carried it into the press room. I could have sat on it for the 5 minutes it took to feed the baby. I did try to complain to the the guy in charge of security before I left, but didnt really get an apology. Happy Mother’s day BKLYN Design! Child friendly indeed~!
They really should know better in a neighborhood filled with kids, and with the demographic they are trying to reach….
