If you didn’t sate your craving for contemporary design at last
weekend’s “Brooklyn Designs,” another fix can be had at
the third annual “Altoids Living Spaces,” beginning this Saturday.
Curated by Jason Miller and Dave Alhadeff, owner of The Future Perfect
in Billyburg, this year’s exhibit showcases designs by four-dozen
companies including redstr/collective, The Design Can and Hivemindesign
in the Williamsburg salon/bar Supreme Trading.
Artist Karim Rashid (pictured) — whose 3-D computer graphic art is
featured in the 2005 Taschen monograph, “Digipop” — will
choose one “Living Spaces” designer to receive the Altoids Curiously
Strong Designer Award.
“Living Spaces” will be on display May 20-23, from noon to
6 pm, at Supreme Trading [213 N. Eighth St. between Driggs and Roebling
streets in Williamsburg, (718) 599-4224]. A viewing party will be held
May 22, from 9 pm to 2 am (with free booze offered from 10 pm to 11 pm).
The exhibition and party are free and open to the public.
