In honor of SDD’s 10th anniversary, Eataly SoHo will offer a limited edition Negroni Sour at its bar, a twist on one of the most iconic cocktails of Milan. Inspired by Italy’s capital of aperitivo and its center of design, the cocktail will be available to design professionals and aficionados alike from 5 pm until close every day during the NYCxDesign Festival (May 16-23), with a special price of $15 when ordered with the mention of SoHo Design District.

Arielle Assouline-Lichten presents new work titled “Unbroken” that centers around transience, ephemerality, and the celebration of imperfection. Her studio Slash Objects’ signature pieces from the Coexist Collection and the Adri Chair are on view as well. Arielle’s approach to furniture design is rooted in elevating overlooked source materials to create bespoke elegance with timeless materials.

In Unbroken, Arielle transforms fractured marble and onyx into furniture and lighting that play on the dichotomy between chaos and order. Using pieces of found stone, an order is given to irregularity, and each piece is a product of individual material constraints. Unbroken showcases the beauty of imperfection and highlights the importance of longevity in a world where everything seems disposable.

For the 2023 cycle, this program will award 25 grants of $10,000 to proposals in design fields, including architecture, landscape architecture, historic preservation, community-centered design, fashion, graphic, industrial, and interior design.

Following a successful pilot year of partnership in 2022, the League and NYSCA are pleased to again partner to administer the Independent Projects program for all interested applicants. The League will directly receive all applications and, together with NYSCA, will convene a panel of experts in design who will evaluate submissions and select projects for funding. Read on for an overview of the program and requirements, and download the complete 2023 Program Guidelines for full information on general requirements, eligibility, and the application process.

Program goals
Design is everywhere. Recognizing design as an art form that can enhance our quality of life, the Independent Projects program seeks proposals that emphasize artistry and design excellence, that may contribute to a broader understanding of design, and/or that advance a design discipline. Critically, design must be at the core of any proposal, and the outcome must be accessible to the public. Projects might, for example, create a design prototype, advance new ideas in community design, research a topic in design or architectural history, or engage in critical or theoretical analysis.

For many years, both NYSCA and the League have supported diverse and creative explorations in design. Where can design go next? Through this partnership, we welcome proposals that seek to answer this question.
