This is the only market in our industry located in the design and commerce capital of the world, and it offers opportunities no other show can, including: • An unparalleled buying experience, where you will see top-line, trend-driven merchandise with a timeless aesthetic • The chance to network with the largest gathering of trend-setters, media, and fellow industry professionals who are serious about design and doing business • A higher concentration of owners and principals of exhibiting companies — 30 percent of whom exhibit only at NY NOW — than at any other U.S. trade event We continue to hear nothing but good things from attendees and exhibitors alike about the number 7 train and how easy it makes getting around the city.

Her first home collection launched in 2002 and featured a fusion of ancient, precious materials with cutting-edge design. Her designs are continually inspired by nature. “Whether it’s the materials I come across or the shapes found all around us, I’m motivated by elevating nature through design and technology to produce unexpected results,” says Rabinowicz. “My hope is that people will be moved by these pieces and will feel the emotion behind the designs when they hold them in their hands. We have a chance to really enhance and positively change people’s lives, creating ways for them to build memories and to create unique experiences. Nothing could be more inspirational than that.” Environmentally Inspired Her first creations—geode coasters in vibrant Brazilian agate—remain best sellers. “They’re the essence of the brand: taking a natural material like agate or crystal and finding a way to manipulate it into something equal parts extraordinary and usable.” Rabinowicz’s design palette is a rich kaleidoscope of organic hues- alabaster, rose quartz, malachite- and her products often reflect shapes inherent to the natural world- the intricate mesh of a sea fan rendered within a metal photo frame, the cross-section of a gem suspended in Lucite.
