'Colour Wheel' ottoman, by Alexander Girard, for Herman Miller, with Maharam
Alexander Girard: An Uncommon Vision, with Herman Miller and Maharam
In celebration of American-born design, Herman Miller has partnered up with luxury textile house Maharam to reissue the furniture and fabric designs of the mid-century design great, Alexander Girard. Staged as a Girard-esque living room installation, the exhibition celebrates the life and legacy of the designer, whose style became closely intertwined with Herman Miller after his tenure as its design director of textiles from 1952-1973. Visitors can not only admire and experience the new collection of furniture and textiles, but also enjoy coffee by La Colombe and peruse official Girard souvenirs from books and blankets to posters and dolls. A special edition pillow produced by Maharam is a particularly unique memento.

'Mm1' chair by Mario Milana
Sight Unseen Offsite
For the last four years, Noho Design District has been our go-to destination for discovering new and emerging design talent from around the United States. This year, curators Monica Khemsurov and Jill Singer, founders of the design blog Sight Unseen, have brought their friends together under one roof - in Soho, no less. Entitled 'Offsite', the event will host almost 50 designers, both local and from further afield, and a pop-up café in a stunning 17,000 sq ft warehouse space. As always, the crowd on show demonstrates that Sight Unseen's finger is on the design pulse - AMMA Studio and Mario Milana are just two of the many names that we'll be looking out for.
