European design fair Collectible is expanding into the US, with its debut overseas edition set to take place in New York City alongside The Armory Show in September.
Collectible founders Clélie Debehault and Liv Vaisberg announced the news as the seventh edition of the fair, dedicated to contemporary collectible design, opened in Brussels this week.
"New York came across as an obvious outpost," the duo told Dezeen. "European designers want to show in NYC, American designers want a European crowd, it just all felt very right."

Collectible's inaugural US edition will take place at Water Street Projects ? a 50,000-square-foot space dedicated to contemporary arts inside the WSA building in New York's financial district. Timed to coincide with The Armory Show art fair between 5 and 8 September, the fair intends to create a platform dedicated solely to 21st-century collectible design in New York.
Debehault and Vaisberg hope the event can offer a counterpoint to the city's Salon Art + Design fair in November, which casts a broader net and shows work from the 19th century onwards.
