Five to Follow: New Products from the BDNY Show Floor

By Diana Mosher

Many interior designers dream of creating a fabulous hotel or restaurant. Not every designer gets that chance, but hospitality design elements are certainly making their way into workplace, multifamily and residential design projects. All the glamour of hospitality design is on display every year at the Javits Convention Center during Boutique Design New York (BDNY). In November, BDNY was the place to see a huge variety of interesting hospitality design products with many outstanding functional and aesthetic qualities.

I spent opening day of BDNY with the NKBA Manhattan Chapter and media sponsor aspire design & home magazine producing and judging our new Inspire Awards. See the winning products here. There were many other notable exhibitors on the BDNY show floor. Here are five to follow:

Kall Collection by Kettal

Kettal is a Spanish furniture company that designs and manufactures furniture for homes, outdoor areas and workplaces. Kettal started in 1964 producing aluminum camping gear in Catalonia, Spain and they later shifted their focus to outdoor furniture before expanding into other markets. Today, Kettal is a global brand with a presence in over 80 countries and with residential, commercial and workplace divisions. Kettal’s Kall Collection seen at BDNY is a great addition to any workplace looking to add more private spaces.

Crosby Street Studios

Co-founded in 2013 by Tony Mott, Jim McFadden and Nicholas DiDonato, Crosby Street Studios is a to-the-trade resource of luxurious custom carpets and textiles. The firm provides architects, designers and developers with exclusive access to innovative materials, technologies and artisans from around the globe. Crosby Street Studios’ flagship New York showroom and atelier occupy 4,000 sq. ft. at the New York Design Center showcasing an inventory of full-size rugs designed by the Crosby Street Studios design team.

Forma Collection by Mirror Image

Based in LA, Mirror Image is an innovative source for mirrors, decorative glass shower enclosures, accessories and art. The Forma Collection blends modernism with traditional craftsmanship, elegant forms and bold colors. It features high-quality materials with organic shapes and a strong focus on both functionality and artistic expression. The Forma Collection includes a simple sliding shower enclosure that can be fit to any size and customized to any finish. Vibrant decorative glass and antique mirror options are available.

Croma Collection by Systemtronic

Since 1988, Systemtronic has been developing and manufacturing products from their headquarters in Valencia, Spain. Blurring the boundaries between art, decor and design, Systemtronic offers contemporary auxiliary furniture and solutions for all kinds of public and private spaces including offices, apartments, hotels, teaching centers, hospitals, meeting and conference rooms, homes, restaurants and terraces. The new Croma Collection, designed by Lagranja Design Studio, incorporates organic shapes, curved lines and playful forms. The collection’s bold hues and finishes were inspired by the warmth of the Mediterranean.
