Designers showcase work "meant to be lived with" at Colony in New York

Cabinets of curiosity and miniature tools based on Shaker furniture were among the works on view at New York design gallery Colony for its second Designer's Residency, showcasing four up-and-coming talents.

According to the gallery, the residency was first launched in 2022 to provide up-and-coming talents with a more accessible way to enter the industry. For the second cycle, emerging designers Alara Alkan, Maggie Pei, Steph Betesh, and Thomas Yang were selected from the pool of applicants.
