Lexus returns to NYCxDESIGN with an experience that brings together live creative work and conversations with William Chergosky of CALTY Design, visual artist Alex Alpert, and Denise Fócil of AsbyDF. Centered around a studio environment and a newly revealed vehicle, the program shows how ideas take shape in real time across disciplines. 

“Lexus participation in NYC×DESIGN serves as a powerful reminder that great design is a universal language, allowing us to share our vision for the future while drawing inspiration from the incredible creative energy of New York.”... says William Chergosky.

Throughout the week, live sessions highlight each perspective: Alpert illustrating on a Lexus IS 350, AsbyDF exploring materials and construction through live performance, and CALTY sharing vehicle design process. Additional programming extends into fashion and hands-on sessions, offering a closer look at the thinking behind craftsmanship. 

Stay tuned for daily programming updates!
