New York Design Week

RISD celebrates the alumni, faculty, staff and students taking part in New York Design Week 2025.

Rhode Island School of Design 

Booth W887

Grounding Space

RISD’s Furniture Design department presents Grounding Space in WANTED at ICFF. Remixing stylistic traditions and historical ornament and embracing the fantastical, this exhibition explores dimensionality—in virtual and physical realms—with natural and synthetic materials and through both traditional and exploratory functional objects. As our experience of space becomes more expansive, we remain inextricably tethered to the Earth. The work highlights curiosity and imagination as modes of exchange and understanding, all the while navigating diverse contextual realities. Grounding Space expands upon traditional furniture archetypes and alludes to atmospheric forces, poetically wielding light and employing materials made possible by advances in industry. It invites us to consider the act of creation as an opportunity for irreverence, homage and complexity. From 1800s farm equipment to the powerful cultural symbolism of animals and the creative possibilities of circuit boards, the work in this exhibition is an amalgam of time and space—a collective composition—that grounds us in the now.

The work includes It’s What’s Inside (Log Light) No.1 and Oriented Structures of Being (O.S.B No. 1) Bench by Kailyn Bryant BFA 25 FD, Weekday Wardrobe by Nino Chambers MFA 25 FD, Bent Bolt Wall Hooks by Andrew Goulet MFA 26 FD, National Geographic by Jack Kemper BFA 25 FD, Turn on Light by Xubai Li MFA 25 FD, Critters by Maggie McCreery BFA 26 FD and Riley Borst BFA 25 TX, Bull by Gretsy Moreno Ortiz BFA 25 FD, Enzo Chair and PC Sconce by August Ostrow BFA 25 FD, Spore Chair by David Schwimmer BFA 25 FD, Hang Sconces by Sam Sherman MFA 25 FD, Vessels by Emelia Violich BFA 2025 FD and Tractor Stool by Oscar Walsh BFA 25 FD.

RISD x Bestcase at WANTED

Booth W887 will also feature graduate work from RISD’s collaboration with Bestcase. In 2024, Bestcase worked  with RISD Furniture Design MFA students to design a collection of furniture. A design and manufacturing studio based in New York, Bestcase is known for transforming industrial materials into refined, contemporary pieces merging aesthetic experimentation with precision fabrication. Specializing in sheet metal, Bestcase reimagines utilitarian materials with elegant finishes and unexpected forms, often blurring the line between functional design and sculptural art. Co-directed by Furniture Design faculty members Patty Johnson and Jonah Takagi BFA 02 FD, the course focused on Bestcase’s manufacturing capabilities and made use of their machinery, facilities and deep expertise. From seating to shelving, students worked closely with Bestcase to develop an understanding of industrial production processes and realize highly resolved production-ready work.

WANTED Design School's Workshop

This year, RISD is the school partner for the WANTED Design Schools Workshop, a collaborative design challenge for international design schools with contributions from guests and industry experts and support from Haworth, Core77 and Molo. The topic is “Eating in NYC: Reconnecting and Redesigning Food Systems,” and the challenge will be facilitated by RISD faculty members Charlie Cannon and Erica Pernice BFA 14 ID over the course of four days. 

In a dedicated workspace at ICFF, more than 30 students from different schools and countries (including RISD, CCA, CENTRO, Escuela Monica Herrera, Ohio State, and Pratt) will work together in teams and present their projects to a jury of industry leaders on the ICFF Talks Main Stage on Tuesday, May 20 at 2:30 pm.

Egg Collective

New York, New York 10013

On May 14, Egg Collective will open “Knock on Wood,” an exhibition centered on artists whose practices are intimately connected with wood. Playing on themes of luck while exploring the idea of material kinship, the exhibition highlights the reciprocal relationship between maker and material. Challenging the extractivist mindset that underpins much of contemporary culture, Knock on Wood seeks to reanimate one of our most ubiquitous materials—restoring to it its due nobility, warmth, and majesty.

Richard Haining 05 FD
Follow @richardhaining

“My piece is about the desire for closeness that feels just out of reach. A longing for hope when it’s not guaranteed. A wish to remember the lives and relationships we've lost. A yearning for the joy that comes with togetherness. A craving for the joy of celebration. A thirst for renewal. This collection of candlesticks, crafted from salvaged wood, carefully STACKED, gesturally carved, and ink-stained, each holding a bright, white candle, offers the promise of light—a glimpse of hope, a path toward connection in our divided world. You may risk getting burned, but lean in, embrace the warmth, and let the light guide you toward a future that brings us all closer."    
—Richard Haining

Pete Oyler MFA 09 FD (RISD Faculty)

“This edition of cast bronze vessels display a range of flora collected on walks in my
neighborhood. From magnolia, hibiscus, milkweed, and iris seed pods to silver maple buds,
birch catkins the work foregrounds desire for cycles of growth, rest, and decay all the while
emphasizing beauty as a touchstone for broader conversation about climate, our local
environments, and ways of seeing. The minimal scale incites a desire to touch, to feel, to notice.”

Shifting Matter    

May 14 – May 21
Roca Tile USA
18 W 21st St New York, NY, 10010

The artists and designers featured in Shifting Matter share a commitment to being guided by the materials and processes they study, rather than using materials to serve a predetermined outcome. Their practices embrace an ongoing dialogue with non-human forces—treating them as creative partners. Physical and chemical transformations take center stage, with the creators acting as contemporary alchemists. Variables such as temperature, movement, photosynthesis, and evaporation become tools for rethinking ideas of territory, functionality, technology, and speculative futures.

Still Growing traces the evolving relationship between design and the natural world, gathering works that honor the unfinished, the evolving, and the quietly alive. Set within a landscape that evokes both origin and future, the works on view invite a slower gaze, suggesting how material and function respond to organic systems rather than control them. Here, the boundary between nature and design is neither fixed nor decorative, it’s active, adaptive, and alive.

Drawing inspiration from her Vietnamese heritage and the landscapes of California, Jolie Ngo showcases her newest and largest body of work to date in Power Clash. The layered topography of rice paddies and the diamond shapes of Vietnamese silk lanterns inform faceted structures that simultaneously mimic the hills of Ngo’s current hometown, Santa Barbara. Her functional, and at times illuminated, objects reimagine these real-world influences through a digital lens, rendering and 3D-printing novel technicolor forms. Despite the changes in scale, her longstanding investigation of the vessel remains central to the work, evolving yet enduring as a core idea for new creations.
