NYCxDESIGN is guided by core values of community, creativity, inclusivity, diversity, and sustainable design for the greater good. Beyond our annual Festival, our year-round programming provides a platform for NYC’s diverse design talent, from students and emerging designers to seasoned professionals. Each program fosters connection, education, and inspiration, empowering the next generation to use design as a powerful tool for positive impact and addressing the world’s most pressing needs.
We are thrilled to introduce DREAM, an immersive exhibition celebrating ambition, artistry, and the pursuit of the extraordinary. As the artistic extension of SHEPEL’, this pop-up marks a defining moment in our journey—from London to New York.
Join POLMAR Gallery for an exclusive panel discussion:
The Art of Craft: Redefining Collectible Design
This dynamic 30-minute conversation will feature leading New York interior designers and in-house experts Bilen Zeremariam and Iain O’Mahony. Together, they will explore how contemporary design is transforming functional objects into collectible art.
The discussion will explore:
The blurred boundaries between art, furniture, and sculpture
The evolution of craftsmanship in a digital age
How designers and collectors are embracing bespoke, limited-edition pieces
The role of galleries in shaping the future of design
Participants will gain insight into how galleries like POLMAR are redefining interiors—where every piece tells a unique story and contributes to an immersive atmosphere.
Following the discussion, join us for an evening of signature cocktails and light bites. Meet the POLMAR team, connect with fellow creatives, and celebrate the launch of our U.S. expansion.
We can’t wait to share this journey with you!
