New York is teeming with design inspiration this fall.

An exhibition by Maison Rapin at Salon Art Design

WORLDWIDE INFLUENCE

Celebrate the eclectic spirit of New York at the first in-person international design fair since the city shut down. Featuring a diverse assortment of exhibitors from nine countries, Salon Art + Design will celebrate its 10-year anniversary of the fair at the Park Avenue Armory in November. “We couldn’t be happier that we are able to hold a live event this year, particularly on the occasion of this momentous anniversary, and just as art and culture returns to New York City,” says Jill Bokor, director of Salon Art + Design. Salon was built on the belief that designers and artists create environments rather than objects, so expect to encounter immersive experiences and spaces that reflect just that. As Salon has always set itself apart by its artistic inclusivity, guests can also anticipate a wide variety of highly curated pieces from historic and contemporary design to fine art. The event, which is welcoming core exhibitors from previous years alongside new ones, will surely have something for everyone. Nov. 11-13, 643 Park Ave. –LS

IN CONTEXT

Founders of brand Objects of Common Interest Eleni Petaloti and Leonidas Trampoukis are debuting a shining new design exhibition at The Noguchi Museum in Queens named Hard, Soft, and All Lit Up with Nowhere to Go. The exhibit, by Senior Curator of The Noguchi Museum Dakin Hart, interplays Objects of Common Interest’s experimental furniture and extraordinary lighting with the eclectic artworks and spaces of artist Isamu Noguchi. Featuring playful, inventive pieces like the Tube Lights and Opal Rocks, the show presents “moments of unfamiliar simplicity” that inspire Petaloti and Trampoukis. “Noguchi’s work has always been—through our eyes—tied to space and about perception within a given context,” Petaloti says. “This show is a conversation around these shared notions.” Through Feb. 13, 9-01 33rd Road –LS

CLASSIC RALPH

Summer Hill plaid beach blanket

The Hamptons have always been home to Ralph Lauren in more ways than one. From calling the living legend himself a local to the brand’s signature style serving as the benchmark of beachy-chic style—the Hamptons are, simply, “so Ralph.” Fans of the East Hampton and Southampton fashion stores can now also shop for the home at the newly debuted Home Cottage at Ralph Lauren Southampton. The “Cottage” is sure to be the destination for everything from hostess gifts and entertaining accessories to pool towels and crisp linens to freshen up that guest room. We have our eye on the plaid beach blanket from the new Summer Hill Collection that’s perfect for a picnic in the sun. The Home Cottage will also feature a curated selection of vintage and antique pieces making for an elegant mix. In other words, it’s classic Ralph. 41 Jobs Lane, Southampton –PW

NEW PERSPECTIVE

Inside the sleek Zanotta House New York

Italian design brand Tecno Zanotta Group’s new concept space at 23 Cornelia St. in Greenwich Village, dubbed Zanotta House, offers a place for everyone from designers to architects to connect and become inspired. “Zanotta House New York is a new business model, a new way of expressing the brand,” says Giuliano Mosconi, CEO of Tecno and Zanotta. Filled with eclectic interiors designed by renowned New York-based hospitality design atelier Tihany Design, Zanotta House is not a showroom or boutique apartment but a representation of a new vision of residential design. Tihany Design’s fluid approach to the space was inspired by the relationship between city and home life during the pandemic—a place to live and work. While living, working and entertaining have meshed together over the past year, the ever-evolving and flexible world is reflected in Zanotta House. 23 Cornelia St. –LS
