DESIGN JOHNSON TRADING GALLERY KIDS At Johnson Trading Gallery, Paul Johnson’s whimsical design space in Queens, even the more established names on the roster are pretty out-there. But it’s a trio of wunderkinds, Jack Craig, Chris Schanck, and Katie Stout, who are truly stretching the parameters of form—not to mention functionality. “Becoming a designer saved my life,” says Schanck, 39, whose Alufoil furniture series, made from steel, foam, rubber, and resin, was a highlight of Design Miami/Basel.
