NYCxDESIGN programming is informed by a Steering Committee comprised of many leaders in New York City’s design community, representing a broad swath of design-related programs, events, organizations, and both academic and cultural institutions.

Key NYCxDESIGN events include ICFF, WantedDesign, Brooklyn Designs, NYCxDESIGN Awards, Design Pavilion,
Design Districts (SoHo Design District, Tribeca Design District, NoMad Design District and East Midtown Partnership), American Design Club, the New York Design Center, graduate shows from the City’s leading design schools, museum exhibitions and more.

For 2018, NYCxDESIGN is pleased to have Swiss watchmaker, Rado, return as the Official Watch Sponsor of NYCxDESIGN. As part of its participation, Rado will host the third stateside edition of the Rado Star Prize together with WantedDesign. This year’s theme will focus on the concept of “Design Inspired by Nature”- a theme that hopes to explore the influence nature can have on design. The call for entries for the competition opened on January 11, 2018, on the Rado Star Prize website (www.rado.com/radostarprize-us), and closes on March 9, 2018.
