May is an incredible month rich in design events. From Maison & Objet Americas, through ICFF NYC, Index Dubai or May Design Series in London, the difficult task will be which trade show to attend. With Collective Design Fair, Frieze New York and the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) converging on New York City for the first time during the same week, the Big Apple\u2019s annual NYCxDesign festival offers more creative happenings across the city than years past. Here\u2019s a quick guide of what\u2019s in store.<\/p>\n

Frieze New York<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

There are always spectacles and surprises to be enjoyed at Frieze New York. A hop, skip and ferry ride away on Randall\u2019s Island, the stylish art fair\u2019s 2015 edition is brimming over with talking points. From special presentations of Richard Tuttle (Pace, New York, pictured) and Philippe Parneo (Pilar Corrias, London) to the official launch of the Maharam Serpentine Galleries wallpaper collection, which will be installed around the island, and a special tribute to George Maciunas\u2019 1976 Flux-Labyrinth installation in Berlin as part of Frieze Projects, the fair promises to be as inspiring as ever.<\/p>\n

Wanted Design<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

Wanted Design celebrates its fifth anniversary with an even more varied showcase of established and emerging design. This year\u2019s edition not only includes a presence at Industry City in Brooklyn, but also sees the fair\u2019s usual Terminal Stores location filled with exhibitions from Mexico, Argentina, Poland, Tokyo, Spain, Ireland and Norway, offering a snapshot of different design landscapes around the world. On the homefront, Design Within Reach unveils the Ven storage system, designed by the legendary Jens Risom and rising talent Chris Hardy. Named after the Danish word for \u2018friend\u2019, the modular system is a seamless vision of warm wood and elegant metal finishes, in spite of the designers\u2019 68-year age gap.<\/p>\n

Collective Design Fair<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

Collective Design Fair takes its travelling showcase of collectible design to chic west Soho this year. Pitching up in what once used to be the Highline\u2019s southern most terminal, the show\u2019s impressive selection of international galleries includes Milan\u2019s Memphis-Post Design Gallery (pictured), Etage Projects from Copenhagen, Fuglen in Norway and several more. We\u2019re especially keen to see R & Company\u2019s presentation of historical works by Jorge Zalszupin and a site-specific rock garden installation from the Noguchi Museum that features Japanese boulders collected by Isamu Noguchi.<\/p>\n

ICFF NYC 2015<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

As the traditional stronghold of the week\u2019s design festivities, the International Contemporary Furniture Fair has always been under pressure to stay cool and relevant.<\/p>\n

\u201cWonder Room\u201d at The Future Perfect<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

The Future Perfect, an already wondrous design haven, will become the temporary home of Piet Hein Eek\u2019s \u2018Wonder Room\u2019 \u2013 the famed top floor space in the Dutch designer\u2019s Eindhoven workshop where design, art and craft co-exists. In New York, the \u2018Wonder Room\u2019 will include one-of-a-kind pieces made especially for The Future Perfect, special collaborative pieces with Dutch artists Marc Mulders and Linda Nieuwstad, commissions from Hansje van Helam and Calico Wallpaper, as well as a range of Roll & Hill lighting curated by Piet Hein Eek, including designs by Lindsey Adelman, Ladies & Gentlemen Studio, Philippe Malouin, Jason Miller, Paul Loebach and more.<\/p>\n
