Previous editions honoured creativity in the United Kingdom, Italy, Lebanon, and China. Right now, the focus in on the United States of America, where a distinguished jury has surveyed American design and selected six individual practitioners or firms with exceptional skills and promise. From September 6-10th, these top American designers will be displayed at this edition of Maison et Objet.

Seven design experts based in the United States applied their far-reaching perspectives in choosing these Rising Talents. Rafael de Cárdenas, the principal of Architecture at Large, Odile Hainaut and Claire Pijoulat, founders of the annual WantedDesign trade show and cultural event in New York, Jerry Helling, president and creative director of Bernhardt Design, Nasir Kassamali, co-founder of the design emporium Luminaire, David Rockwell, award-winning architect and designer and Rosanne Somerson, president of Rhode Island School of Design.

The jurors recommended award winners based on excellence, and once they decided on the chosen designers, they realized that Brooklyn was definitely becoming the design capital of the United States of America. These six chosen designers stood out for their amazing and innovative projects, that really captured the juror’s eye.

The jurors chose designers such as Alex Brokamp, Bailey Fontaine, Green River Project, Harold, Kin & Company, Rosie Li. And it’s through these initiatives that make Maison Et Objet 2019 one of the top design events at a worldwide level.
