Bklyn Designs

The Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce that Bklyn Designs 2006, NY's hippest design show, will return to DUMBO, Brooklyn, May 12 - 14, 2006.

The annual three-day exhibition will kick-off NY Design Week, and feature the borough's top established and emerging designers of contemporary indoor and outdoor furniture, rugs, lighting and accessories.

The show, founded in 2003, has steadily grown to fill multiple venues and attract thousands of architects, designers and design-savvy consumers from around the country.

St. Ann's Warehouse will once again serve as the show hub but this year the entire DUMBO neighborhood will be alive with events, gallery openings and parties.

Bklyn Designs exhibitors are selected by a jury, which includes prominent designers as well as editors from leading design and shelter magazines.

All exhibitors will show their newest made-in-Brooklyn collections.

For many, it will be their very first trade show exhibit.

This gives attendees a chance to be among the first in the world to see the new design trends as they are being set.

The complete exhibitor list, which will top 50 firms this year, will be posted in the coming weeks.

The show will also feature inspiring design events and consumer demonstrations that are all free with admission.
