Sight Unseen Offsite's main location at 201 Mulberry may have downsized compared to last year, but the quality of works shown at the crowd favorite show remained high. This year's show was heavily focused on unexpected collaborations, including the mini show-within-a-show Field Studies, which paired celebrities with designers to create surprising results. Think a mirror designed by Bower and Seth Rogan and a piano designed Wall for Apricots and Jason Schwartzman. Other collaborations shown include furniture by Kim Markel and Glossier, a room designed by Levi's Made and Crafted in partnership with various designers, Norway x New York and Hotel Tonight x Steven Bukowski and Hannah Bigeleisen.
