Walnut Creek, CA, Sept. 26, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — New York City will be the hub of the design world from October 3-5, 2023, as Merlegallup, the premier online design destination for consumers and trade professionals, presents the first Merlegallup Design Experience at NeueHouse Madison Square. This three-day exhibition will showcase nine top design brands in the furniture and lighting space, welcoming FLOS, Stickbulb, Buster + Punch, Vistosi, Michael Anastassiades, DESIGNHEURE, Moooi, Louis Poulsen and Audo Copenhagen, along with media partners Interior Design and The Grand Tourist.

These brands will present showcases with a special emphasis on bespoke, custom designs displayed in an experiential gallery, giving visitors the full sense of the creativity and innovation behind each piece. Throughout the exhibition, brands will host immersive talks about their displays, ticketed individually. 

On October 3, the evening programming includes a series of intimate discussions with designers Colin King, Øivind Slaatto and Michael Anastassiades, hosted by Interior Design’s Editor-in-Chief Cindy Allen. On October 4, The Grand Tourist’s Dan Rubinstein will host a panel with emerging designers. The closing event on October 5 features a keynote address from Marcel Wanders on behalf of FLOS. All three events will be broadcast for global viewing. Finally, attendees are also invited to the official wrap party after the closing event, hosted by Moooi. This special programming is ticketed separately; the Cindy Allen event has already sold out.
