I went to the first ever Brooklyn Design show in Dumbo some years ago and was impressed. The small show, then only at the St. Ann’s Warehouse, had some notable furniture and lighting designers. I am a bit obsessed with shows like this one. The quest for new materials and interesting furniture make it impossible for me to not attend. The show, which has tripled in size and also included jewelry and accessory designers, was impressive. Sure – there were the booths that you quickly walk by (tons of custom expensive chunky wood tables). But there were also the handful of designers who got me really excited about this crazy business of design. The first one I came upon was Argington, a modern children’s furniture company. The designs were fresh and clean but also accommodated the ever changing needs of children. The Sahara Crib (below), for example, can convert into a toddler bed.
