DUMBO: May 2006 Archives

I just got my last subscription issue of Dwell in the mail (yes, I'm renewing), and it reminded me that there's a fun activity for Brooklynites this weekend: BKLYN Designs 2006, May 12-14. It's free for registered members of the trade and $12 for us regular folk who just like the pleasing shape of well-designed things. Tickets are available at all of the city's Brooklyn Industries (but wouldn't it be wrong to buy one at a Manhattan location?) and most of the show happens in DUMBO. There's more than 50 firms participating, with everything from decorative pieces like the Perch Designs bird feeder in the photo, to furniture, rugs, lighting, etc. on display
