BKLYN Designs STARTS TODAY- Inhabitat is here!

BKLYN Designs STARTS TODAY!!
We are thrilled to be on the scene at this year’s BKLYN Designs – it is one our favorite springtime events, and we couldn’t be more excited! Locally sourced and inspired, the BKLYN Designs furniture fair captures a side of sustainable design that is near and dear to Inhabitat’s mission – drawing local designers together into a familiar, yet fresh, environment to celebrate design innovation. This year is especially exciting as four of our Inhabitants (Jill, Ali, Mike & Abigail) have converged upon Brooklyn to scope out the scene and partake in eco-conscious events during this design extravaganza. We will be here all weekend reporting back with the best in sustainable design from BKLYN Designs 2008!

MOTHERS DAY GREEN DESIGN WALKING TOUR – Sunday May 11th @ 2pm

In honor of Mother’s Day, it will be a mom-focused, family friendly event, so bring your kids, your mom or whomever else to learn more about local sustainable furniture design with the Inhabitat team. The tour is filling up fast, and we have a max of 15 spaces, so if you’d like to partake, please email us at to sign up inhabitat at gmail.com.

More than 70 local designers will be exhibiting at this year’s event, making this the biggest BKLYN Designs to date. We’ve brought several “sneak peeks” of brand new designs to Inhabitat every day this week, and starting today we will be bringing you live coverage from this fantastic sustainable design bonanza.

We will bring the best of BKLYN Designs back to Inhabitat, but we also invite you to join us in Brooklyn if you live in the area. This year, in addition to all of the exciting eco-design innovations and earth-minded events, new moms Inhabitat Editor-in-Chief Jill Fehrenbacher and Art & Style Editor Abigail Doan will be sharing their unique perspectives on furniture and design geared towards families and children…
