Peer-curated by Brooklyn-based Kin & Company, the exhibition brings together the global design community with new works from 22 artists and design studios that reflect on and consider our relationship with nature and the living world around us increasingly frayed in our new digital reality.
The show is an attempt to comment on this changing relationship, attempt to rekindle or adapt to it.

About
Kin & Company
Kin & Company is the Brooklyn design practice of cousins Joseph Vidich, a Columbia University-trained architect with a deep knowledge of metalworking and fabrication, and Kira de Paola, an interior designer with a background in high-end furniture. After years of refining their edgy aesthetic, Kin & Company’s premiere collection debuted in 2017 at the fairs Sight Unseen OFFSITE and WantedDesign, where they received immediate attention for their sculptural, lifelike pieces. Their Thin Series was selected as an NYCxDesign finalist in the Made in the Boroughs category, and was name-checked by Dezeen, while their Crescent Table landed them on Sight Unseen’s American Design Hot List, ”an unapologetically subjective editorial award for the names to know now,” and a veritable who’s who of independent designers.
