Register Now to Attend Our 2018 Sight Unseen OFFSITE Show

We’re excited to share the details of our fifth annual Sight Unseen OFFSITE fair, a showcase of furniture and objects by the most exciting names in contemporary design. From May 17-20, you can visit us at 201 Mulberry Street in New York, plus a dozen satellite venues around downtown Manhattan that will also be hosting content, including Opening Ceremony, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Roll & Hill, and Creatures of Comfort.

At our 201 Mulberry Street hub, we’re shifting our focus from individual designer presentations to group exhibitions and curated projects. In our partner venues, we’ve selected a dozen top design studios to debut their 2018 collections. We’ll also be making our second-ever printed design week magazine, available for free at all participating venues. Check out our brand new website — made with Cargo — for our lineup and visitor information.

The 2018 show is free to attend and open to the public, but you can register for entry in advance to save time at the door. We’ve also made a very limited number of tickets available for purchase to attend our VIP preview and party, which are otherwise strictly by invitation only.
