OPENING PARTY MAY 15th

NYCxDESIGN, together with presenting partner The Refinery at Domino, proudly kicked off the 2025 NYCxDESIGN Festival with a spectacular Opening Party!

We gathered to celebrate the power of great design at one of New York City’s newest architectural landmarks — a stunning blend of history and modernity. With sweeping views of Manhattan as our backdrop, the evening brought together the city’s dynamic design community across every discipline. It was truly a Festival highlight!
As the sun set, casting a golden glow over the skyline, guests were treated to an unforgettable experience — the smooth sounds of gifted saxophonist Utril Rhaburn, a captivating lighting installation by L’Observatoire International made possible by Signify, and artfully crafted bites and cocktails from Pinch Food Design.
Cheers to the official start of the 2025 Festival — and to the creative energy that defines our city.
