We’re more than halfway through the fall season, and this week marked the return of BDNY at the Javits Center. From pixelated floral velvet fabrics to 100 percent recycled plastic surfaces that look like terrazzo, here are some of the most impressive launches at the design fair and beyond.
HBF Textiles snagged a Best of BDNY award for its super dreamy Moments of Wander series by Christiane Müller. An ode to the ephemeral, the outdoor-friendly fabric line features three graphic patterns inspired by fleeting moments in nature, including the multitonal Trails of Tweed, the micro-checked Seeds of Colour, and our current crush, Fields of Velvet, a polychromatic double-loom weave with a pixelated floral motif.
The Good Plastic Company’s Polygood collection won the Best of BDNY award for sustainable product design, and rightfully so. Offered in an array of versatile patterns—including solids and marble-like styles—the cutting-edge surface design is made entirely from 100 percent recycled plastic and can be used to create everything from countertops and backsplashes to bathroom vanities, shower tiles and wet bars.
Rebecca Moses was at BDNY to debut her fashion-forward collaboration with Momentum Textiles & Wallcovering. The collection reimagines two of the New York artist’s most popular illustrations—The Queen and Kimono Lady—as 11 stunning wallcovering patterns in multiple colorways, with standouts such as the dazzling Deco Dreams, the painterly Fleur, the kaleidoscopic Queens Montage, and the abstract, animal print–esque Kimono Untamed.
Lulu and Georgia dropped a playful new collection with Lalese Stamps of Lolly Lolly Ceramics. The characterful collab includes 20 delightful designs punctuated by squiggly lines and natural materials. Among the highlights are the sinuous Noor chandelier, the outdoor-ready concrete Lune side table, and Cora, a sculptural oak sideboard with undulating door fronts.
Arte unveiled Techno Bee Embroidered, its latest couture-quality collaboration with Moooi. Cast on an ivory cotton-linen ground, the tactile, tone-on-tone wallcovering features an intricately stitched floral motif for a stunning moiré effect.
Artistic Tile’s collaboration with Ryan Saghian took center stage inside the brand’s BDNY booth. The collection, called Metamorphosis, is based on original artwork by the Los Angeles designer and features an ultradimensional tile pattern composed of trapezoidal brass and stone shapes.
Paul Meyer’s Burro Noche for Four Hands Art Studio will make your heart skip several beats. After suffering a life-threatening accident that left him bedridden, the Texas artist began painting the donkeys he saw outside his window—and viewed as a symbol of hope—and is now offering one as an exclusive, meticulously hand-printed piece reproduced in collaboration with the Austin-based brand.
French bed atelier Tréca made a splashy stateside debut at BDNY thanks to its eye-catching Versailles collection. The artisan-made headboard showcases a sleek neoclassical silhouette in a selection of sumptuous fabrics, and can be paired with one of the brand’s handcrafted bed bases for a fully upholstered bespoke look.
Erik Lindström’s Frame collection offers an of-the-moment spin on old-world framed floorcoverings. The hand-knotted series reimagines six classic patterns as contemporary rugs punctuated by stylized borders, including the art deco Arcade, the geometric Native, the architectural Apollo, the linear Itza, the silk-accented Voyeur and the Regency-style Purity.
Tuuci’s Sail collection by Dougan Clarke made major waves at the Javits Center. The all-weather series—which spans sofas, sectionals, sun lounges, chairs, chaises, ottomans and four table styles—is constructed of a wood-grain-finished steel-and-aluminum frame and twisted, textured fabrics that forge a rhythmic, spinnaker-like effect.
