Those Girls From Sight Unseen Sure Know How to Put Together a Fun Series of Events

Boy, those girls from Sight Unseen sure know how to put together a fun series of events. We had a great time walking around Noho this year. I made it a point to go this year because unfortunately last year I missed it.

Ny Design Week 2012: Noho Design District Part 1

London Underground

London Underground was Tom Dixon's first satellite show in the US, which took the Bleecker Street Theatre's basement level space (i.e., "underground") and turned it into a showcase for his lighting. The geometric shadows thrown onto the walls from his Etch Light Web fixtures were especially mesmerizing. Besides the lighting on display, there was a Fab.com pop-up shop where a selection of his lighting could be purchased. We were a little bummed not to see him on the main floor at the Javits, but this was an entirely different experience. And, once again, I didna??t get one of those safety orange messenger bags! Drats!

Areaware

We all know Areaware for their supercool and often kooky objects and they didn't disappoint with their two-room installation. One room featured various Areaware objects with the most adorable Nickelodeon-esque stacking blocks video and, in the other, a video that introduces Harry Allena??s Bank in the Form of a Pig GLOW. And glow it did | neon green to be exact.
