It’s that time of year again! Today, we’re pleased to announce the honorees of our fifth annual American Design Hot List — an unapologetically subjective editorial award for the 20 names to know now in American design. The list acts as Sight Unseen’s guide to those emerging and mid-career talents influencing the design landscape in any given year, whether through standout launches, must-see exhibitions, or just our innate sense that they’re ones to watch. We’ll be devoting the entire upcoming week to interviews with and social media coverage of our 2017 honorees, and we hope you’ll follow along! You can also check out past winners on our American Design Hot List page, which serves as an ongoing resource for those who want to learn more about the American design scene. We’ll be adding 2017’s honorees throughout the week.

Meanwhile, without further ado, the 2017 honorees are…
