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.
The NoMad Design District will be a hub of energy and inspiration, featuring several new showroom openings and special events. Many brands will also debut new collections fresh from Salone. NoMad invites visitors and industry insiders to explore fresh ideas, discover new resources, and engage with the future of design.
In 1929, Irish designer Eileen Gray created E.1027 on the sun-soaked Côte d'Azur – a bold and hidden gem of avant-garde architecture. This striking house was meant to be a personal refuge.
But when the legendary architect Le Corbusier stumbled upon it, fascination turned to obsession. He covered its walls with his murals, completely disregarding Gray's wishes and her vision. His defiant act ignited a battle for creative control, with Gray demanding restitution for the destruction of her work, He ignored her wishes and instead built his famous Cabanon house directly behind E.1027.
E.1027 – Eileen Gray and the House By the Sea is an unusual hybrid docu-fiction film that tells a story about the power of one woman’s creative expression and a man’s desire to control it.
