Design followers, your social calendar is about to get a whole lot busier. New York Design Week begins today in DUMBO with BKLYN Designs and kicks into high gear next weekend at the Javits Center with the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF). We’ve got the goods on all the parties and events, so now it’s up to you to decide: Should you pop by Artemide to see DJ Kreemy (aka Karim Rashid) work the turntables Sunday night? Head over to MoMA for the annual ICFF opening night party? Attend Monday’s full-day Metropolis Conference @ ICFF—Design Entrepreneurs: INNOVATE? All of the above? Thinking that a map (or five) would help you navigate, we created a series of Google Maps for the long weekend of ICFF-related events:
