MADE IN BROOKLYN: THE CREATIVES PUTTING THE NEW YORKBOROUGH ON THE DESIGN MAP

Brooklyn is only a short distance from Manhattan yet it has its own, highly distinctive identity. Talk to Brooklyn’s tight-knit but burgeoning community of designer-makers and you get the impression that this New York borough is widely seen as more romantic, bohemian, less overtly worldly than the more commerce-focused Manhattan. Yet it’s also easy to exaggerate the differences between these two creative hubs. After all, Brooklyn’s new generation of designers are, in their own way, highly ambitious and entrepreneurial. Even so, the ethos of their businesses is more leftfi eld, possibly more laid-back than those of Manhattan.

Comparatively leafy Brooklyn is generally seen as a gentler place, albeit one teem-ing, like never before, with industrious creatives working in a multitude of fi elds.‘Brooklyn has an energy that springs from all types of talented people,’ say Jean and Oliver Pelle, who, in 2011, set up their lighting and furniture design studio Pelle in Red Hook, western Brooklyn, a port area that boasts a high concentration of designers. ‘There’s a big entrepreneurial spirit, a groundswell of activity in one spot – designers, restaurateurs, beekeepers making honey on rooftops.’ ‘There are all kinds of industries here,’ concur Jason Horvath and Bill Hilgendorf of design studio Uhuru, which is ‘dedi-cated to sustainability and local craftsmanship’. Its Coney Island furniture is fash-ioned from the eponymous Brooklyn peninsula’s demolished, weathered boardwalk, originally installed in the 40s. ‘People are brewing beer, designing wallpaper, lighting, you name it... It’s amazing.’ There are many advantages to being Brooklyn-based, many designers point out. For starters, there’s its strong community spirit: many creatives know each other, help each other out and sometimes collaborate.

Traditionally, Brooklyn’s main economy was manufacturing, but in the mid-70s this shifted to a mainly service-based one. Yet an infrastructure of local, highly special-ist suppliers which designers make use of – from timber yards to metalworkers and machinists – still exists. ‘Brooklyn has great resources,’ says Will Kavesh, co-founder

with Emrys Berkower of furniture and lighting company Token. ‘We produce most of our work ourselves but use some external manufacturers.’ In fact, Token is typical of many Brooklyn design outfi ts in that it’s relatively self-suffi cient. According to Kavesh, one reason for this is economic: ‘Brooklyn’s factories can be expensive, which encour-ages designers to produce their own work.’ Another reason he cites is America’s ‘long designer-maker tradition’. ‘We have a strong DIY culture – Americans are equally interested in making and designing pieces.’ By contrast, for now, Brooklyn’s rents are relatively inexpensive. ‘Many designers can’t afford Manhattan’s rents so they’ve colonised outlying areas like Brooklyn and

its disused warehouse spaces in such neighbourhoods as Red Hook, Bushwick and Sunset Park,’ says Oliver Pelle. While many designers prefer to live in Brooklyn than Manhattan, they acknowledge that they’re dependent on the latter, one of the world’s biggest furniture markets. Many of their clients are based in Manhattan, too, although this is changing, according to Asher Israelow, whose eponymous company’s custom-made furniture often combines traditional woodworking with brass inlays in complex geometric patterns. ‘My customers used to be mostly Manhattan-based but many now live in Brooklyn.’ For Mark de la Vega, founder of luxe homeware brand DLV, Brooklyn’s proximity to Manhattan is a boon: ‘Our customers are there. It only takes me 10 minutes to drive through the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel to meet them.’

Then there are Manhattan’s fairs, including the Architectural Digest Home Design Show, the Armory Show, Collective, and, of course, ICFF – New York Design Week’s largest exhibition. (All the designers mentioned in this article are showing either at the fairgrounds or in one of the city’s hotspots. What’s more, they also appear in Architonic’s brand-new app, being launched just in time for May – Architonic Best Brooklyn NY Brands app.) ‘When it comes to shows, Manhattan has the edge,’ opines designer Brit Kleinman of the fi rm AVO, who hand-paints cowhide rugs and cushions with bold geometric prints inspired by traditional patterns found in Guatemala and New Mexico.

But Brooklyn, too, has its fairs, notably Brooklyn Designs, founded in 2003 and lo-cated in northern neighbourhood Greenpoint. ‘We launched our company there last May,’ say Aaron and Heather Shoon, the husband-and-wife team behind Pletz, which makes lathe-turned lamps out of FSC-certifi ed cherry, maple or walnut, the best-known being the Delhi light with a turquoise-dyed neck that, the duo say, ‘offers a fresh take on mid-century design’. They describe their designs as being of ‘heirloom quality’, a popular Brooklyn term implying durability and by extension sustainability.

Indeed, sustainability is a major concern for its designers, according to DavidGaynor, who initially worked for Uhuru, then set up his eponymous furniture-making fi rm devoted ‘to a contemporary exploration of modernism’ (the movement many Brooklyn designers are inspired by): ‘There’s been a great push here for green furni-ture, upcycling and furniture with integrity. One aspect of this is makers taking pride in their pieces’ construction. Otherwise furniture falls apart and ends up as landfi ll.’

There are some drawbacks to being in Brooklyn though. ‘Many of my customers won’t leave Manhattan to come to my Brooklyn showroom,’ says Angel Naula, whose long-

established company Naula creates bespoke furniture for a raft of celebrities, from actor Hugh Jackman to singer Norah Jones. According to Greenpoint-based designer Farrah Sit, whose stripped-down homeware often incorporates lines that create illu-sions of volume – take her Graphite planter-cum-light – another downside is the area’s creeping gentrifi cation: ‘I’d prefer to stay in Brooklyn at all costs as it’s access-ible to everything needed. But it’s uncertain how long we can stay here as land is increasingly being bought by developers for residential use.’ Designers’ survival here is threatened, too, by escalating property prices, notes Stefanie Brechbuehler, co-founder of Workstead, which designs interiors, furniture and lighting. ‘People are being priced out of parts of Brooklyn – the media has reported on it being one of the least afford-able areas in the US.’

It was not always thus, remembers furniture and lighting designer David Weeks, who began working for jeweller Ted Muehling in the 90s: ‘Back then, New York had a fl edgling design scene. It was very craftsy, dominated by hand-made wooden furniture,’ recalls Weeks, whose work is manufactured in Brooklyn and sold at his showroom in Tribeca, Manhattan. ‘Later, a new generation of designers moved to Brooklyn during the

recession when Manhattan wasn’t affordable and the Bronx was too far.’ ‘Some credit for the scene has to go to the 2008 economic slump,’ believes Ian Collings of Fort Standard, whose furniture and products are minimalist while ‘referencing craft tra-ditions’. ‘People were being laid off or weren’t being hired, so they had to start their own companies, be self-suffi cient, learn to get products to market quickly. Now, with the economy recovering, and some good experience under our belts our growth can fi nally be more focused.’

Today, slogans such as ‘Made in Brooklyn’ and ‘Brooklyn Brands’ are used to sum-marise the area’s designers and their aesthetic. Some, however, are sceptical aboutthem. ‘They generally create a caricature of reclaimed, rough-hewn, handmade furni-ture. Yet people are doing a variety of things in Brooklyn, often creating very sophisti-cated work,’ says Mat Driscoll, founder of furniture fi rm Bellboy. ‘At trade fairs, I hear people say Brooklyn must be a fairyland for designers,’ says another designer. ‘You graduate, set up your business there and you’re up and running. But it’s not easy. It’s an interesting incubator of ideas but not the utopia some imagine.’ That said, many designers, such as Jason Miller, whose company Roll & Hill produces polished lighting in brass, bronze, leather, rope and mouth-blown glass, are ‘proud’ of being Brooklyn-based: ‘It’s a great place. There’s a confl uence of cultural strands here. Most people I bump into are part of the creative world, be it the relatively commercial fi eld of advertising or food or design.’

STATEMENTS

TODD HEISERDESIGN DIRECTOR, GENSLER“Architonic is an exhaustive resource for designers. It is a ‘one-stop Wikipedia’ of design resources. I love the printed guides, and I use the site as a tool almost daily.”

ANDREAS DORNBRACHTMANAGING DIRECTOR, DORNBRACHT“Architonic plays a major role in qualifying and selecting what the market offers to the architect. And I especially think that a limited and curated offer of brands and products is key to the architect. The architect is becoming more and more important to us, and right now, with the help of Architonic, we are developing a communication stra-tegy towards the architectural community.”

ANU LEINONENARCHITECT, OMA REM KOOLHAAS“Staying informed about the latest developments in building materials is very time-consuming. I really appreciate the support Architonic offers as a professional website in this field. Architects screening the current developments for us – this is what we have been waiting for!”

FREDERIK BILLIAUGENERAL SALES DIRECTOR, MDF ITALIA“What we especially like about Architonic is the fact that dealers are also part of the concept. So even people who don’t know Architonic will be directed by the Virtual Showroom on our dealers’ websites to the Architonic database, which will help them to find the products they are searching for.!”

Today, architects and interior designers looking for inspiration can visit shows, consult media and take part in seminars. dotsandplanes’ European Inspiration Tour wants to go further with a 5-day long design immersion, with independently picked visits, and with the perfect atmosphere to build lasting business connections.

From 15th to 19th June, dotsandplanes organises its first European Inspiration Tour for a group of 12 selected, US-based interior designers and architects. The trip fo-cuses on the Scandinavian and German speaking axis of European design, with stops in Denmark and Switzerland - both competing for the title of best place to live in the world - and does not miss the momentum of Design Miami/Basel and Art Basel, which runs that same week.

Content is key. dotsandplanes founders and tour guides Joost Vanhecke and AnMichiels have created a multifaceted programme with various partners, organisations and brands that offer relevant food for thought. Think along the lines of a live prod-uction showcase of Arne Jacobsen’s Bellevue lamp at &Tradition’s dockside headquar-ters in Copenhagen or get insights into the possibilities of timbersurface treatments through Dinesen’s Design Studies. A visit to Renzo Piano’s Paul Klee Centre in Bern will be followed by an exclusive dinner in the original Fritz Haller Pavilion of modu-larfurniture brand USM, and the latest buildings and installations at the Vitra Campus can be discovered during the Vitra Summer Party.

“To set a new style in building professional relationships, we organise a one-of-a-kind experience for American specifiers, fully devoted to the exploration of the status of the European design scene. We aim to bring about relevant connections between design professionals at the right scale, the right moment and with the right intensity.”

dotsandplanes considers online applications for the European Inspiration Tour.All information including the application procedure, day-to-day travel schedule,pricing and a few words on the organisers and the partners can be found atwww.dotsandplanes.com. Included in the tour package are complementary offersby dotsandplanes’ partners Architonic, German Design Council and WantedDesign.A second tour from London to the Benelux is being developed for Autumn 2015.

About dotsandplanesdotsandplanes connects design professionals, brands and media through guided trips across continents. Artistic director Joost Vanhecke and architect and curator AnMichiels founded dotsandplanes together with digital specialist Brik De Maeyer in 2014. They met whilst working for the Biennale Interieur, known since 1968 as the most ‘designed’ biennale on the European calendar.

‘The Island (KEN)‘: Installation and live perfor-mance in New York on the occasion of the New Museum Triennial ‘Surround Audience‘. Createdby DIS in collaboration with Dornbracht, andco-designed by Mike Meiré.Photos: Heji Shin, Copyright: Dornbracht

Photo DIS: Sabine Reitmaier

On the occasion of the 2015 New Museum Triennial titled ‘Surround Audience‘, the New York based artist collective DIS presents The Island (KEN), an installation developed in collaboration with Dornbracht and codesigned by creative director and designer Mike Meiré. It‘s exhibited in the Lobby Gallery at the New Museum in New York until May 24th, 2015.

It is Dornbracht‘s extraordinary involvement in cultural discourse, as well as its premium standard of aesthetics and quality, which motivated the New York based artist collective DIS to approach Dornbracht with the idea of a joint pro-ject designed especially for the renowned New Museum Triennial. In collaboration with creative director and designer Mike Meiré, who has accompanied the brand for over 20 years now and served as curator and contributor to the Dornbracht Culture Projects, they developed The Island (KEN). This hybrid product unites the (social) kitchen and the (private) bathroom, raising new questions regarding logic and application. The precision and high-end finishing of the work provides the new „product“ with a seriousness, which inevitably results in a confusion of the ob-servers‘ viewing habits.

However, The Island (KEN) is not only a prototype and a showroom, but also the scene of an ongoing performance created and organized by DIS: A philosopher making salad while discussing hyper objects, a lifestyle guru doing ASMR (Au-tonomous Sensory Meridian Response), a woman in khaki pants laying under the Horizontal Shower while the smell of butter emanates from the electric stove.

The Island (KEN) embodies a perfect symbiosis of design and art. Merging both disciplines reveals the aesthetic and atmospheric power of the Dornbracht prod-ucts, such as Horizontal Shower and eUnit Kitchen placing them in an entirely different setting. The result is a new space that bursts the boundaries of conven-tional functional rooms and allows the viewer to see the (Dornbracht) world in a new way. Horizontal shower demonstrations will be performed regularly during weekends.

Visit the New Museum Triennial, Public Hours New Museum:Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday: 11 a.m.–6 p.m., Thursday : 11 a.m.–9 p.m. Performances demonstrating the shower functionality of DIS’s The Island (KEN) take place every Saturday through the end of the exhibition.
