Collective Design

Collective Design engages a diverse range of voices and expertise from around the world to present a compelling vision of design throughout the 20th century and today. It is guided by its founder, architect Steven Learner, and a passionate group of industry leaders, including designers, architects, gallerists, and collectors. Active in the creative community throughout the year, Collective Design focuses its shared knowledge in an annual fair in New York City that showcases the latest in design thinking and innovation.

The annual Collective Design fair is a commercial and educational platform featuring expertly selected works from a global roster of established and emerging galleries. Presented in a new, unexpected location each year, Collective Design cultivates a spirit of discovery that appeals to both avid patrons and those new to collectible design. The fair has leveraged the city’s energy to become a vital part of New York’s cultural calendar.

Collective Design is dedicated to exploring the significance of design across creative disciplines and everyday life. Through its annual fair, Collective Design illuminates both the design process and the diversity of today’s material culture, originating a robust series of conversations and education programs to foster dialogue, encourage the exchange of ideas, and build a growing audience for collectible design.
