ERIC ROSNER, 2011
Emmanuel Plat, Director of Merchandising of MoMA’s retail division says “We are so impressed by the depth of local talent submitted during our Open Call for New York designers last year. The innovative products and unique designs truly reflect urban living and led us to create our largest collection to date.” The collection celebrates established and up-and-coming designers alike with product from long-time MoMA Design Store contributors such as Alexis Bittar, Baggu and Sandy Chilewich, as well as new discoveries in the New York design community.
The Destination: NYC product collection will be available in MoMA Design Stores in New York City (11 West 53 Street, 44 West 53 Street, 81 Spring Street) and Tokyo and at MoMAstore.org, MoMAonlinestore.co.kr, and MoMAstore.jp beginning in May 15, 2013.
