The seventh annual BKLYN Designs exhibition is set to open on Friday. The show will take over multiple venues in Dumbo and features designers and craftspeople who work in Brooklyn.
We’re already interested in checking out TMRnyc’s ‘Side Wired Desk’. Designer Scott Behr created the desk to try and solve a common problem.
The frustration of searching for a free power outlet to plug into nearby made me ask, Why can’t I just plug this into my desk? Why can’t I just plug my desk into the wall with one cord and neatly plug in all of my other gear into the desk. The design challenge was to make a great looking desk, incorporate a hidden cable management system and power source as well as making it fast and easy to get at the cable ends to rearrange things when as the situation arises.
Throughout the three day event, BKLYN Designs will hold lectures, offer house tours, and host an evening party or two.
