Today we’re excited to share the details of our Sight Unseen OFFSITE 2016 show, presented in partnership with Ford Motor Company and taking place May 13–16 on the 15th floor of the iconic Grace Building, a beautiful 20,000 square-foot space with floor-to-ceiling views onto Bryant Park below.

In addition to showcasing a curated selection of furniture and product launches by some of our favorite independent design studios and forward-thinking brands, Sight Unseen OFFSITE has partnered with Ford to bring the design thinking behind the new Ford Edge to life in the form of TOPO, a harmonic sound space by New York architecture studio Leong Leong.
