Trade show WantedDesign returns to New York this month with a wide-ranging programme of exhibitions, talks and events across venues in both Manhattan and Brooklyn.
Dezeen is media partner for the seventh edition of WantedDesign, which will take place between two main locations during the citywide NYCxDesign festival.

"More than ever, we wish WantedDesign to be an open platform, ideal for fostering international dialogue, connection, the free exchange of knowledge, design thinking and community building," said co-founders Odile Hainaut and Claire Pijoulat.
First to open will be the show at Brooklyn's Industry City, which welcomes the public from 17 to 23 May 2017. Wanted Interiors, created with Sony Life Space UX, will allow visitors to interact with products on show "in a more intimate and lively way"
