WSA, 161 Water Street, New York, NY 10038

Afternoon Light Design Fair is the annual event for contemporary furniture, objects, and materials, held each May in Manhattan during New York Design Week. Its roster brings together canonical brands and independent studios—icons showing what’s next alongside emerging makers presenting for the very first time.

Designed for the A&D trade and open to the public, Afternoon Light is a three-day celebration of living and building beautifully.

70+ exhibitors span furniture, lighting, objects, materials, and tableware, all presented across the gallery floors of WSA—a landmark Lower Manhattan tower transformed into a light-filled creative sanctuary with sweeping East River views.

Confirmed exhibitors include Carl Hansen & Søn, Anglepoise, USM, Humanscale, Resource Furniture, Symbol Audio, Matter Made, Willett, Phase Design, Palet, Ford Bostwick, Forks Plus, Dimwit, Realm, Keeps Home, Studio/Jialun Xiong, ZETR, Alkemis Paint, and many others.
