NEW: LOOK BOOK A PROGRAM DEDICATED TO NORTH AMERICAN DESIGN STUDIOS Concept WantedDesign has developed Look Book for 2018, a new program for top North American designers/entrepreneurs to be part of WantedDesign Manhattan. Look Book will occupy 400 sq. ft. in the Tunnel, the main exhibition space for WantedDesign Manhattan. Look Book is presented in collaboration with Modern Magazine. After gathering feedback from past WantedDesign participants from around North America, we understand the need for a dedicated program and a specific format for them to succeed in connecting with the right audience of interior designers and architects, while taking into consideration the budget and available resources of an independent business. Look Book is an in-person portfolio for interior designers and architects to discover, connect and shop the latest products before, during and after WantedDesign. The designers are not required to be present at all times which allows companies to be part of several activities during NYCxDESIGN, New York s celebration of global design.
