DESIGN IS HERE IN DUMBO.
Celebrate with us on Dumbo x Design Day, as part of the NYCxDesign Festival.
“Dumbo has earned its new title as a New York City design district. While the former industrial hub has long been attracting architecture and design creatives and artists, there’s been a significant uptick in activity in recent years that hasn’t gone unnoticed.”
