This week we announced our 12th annual American Design Hot List, Sight Unseen’s editorial award for the names to know now in American design. We’re devoting an entire week to interviews with this year’s honorees — get to know the fourth group of Hot List designers here (including Parts and Labor Design, above, whose founders launched the stellar furniture collection Known Work early last year.) 

This week we announced our 12th annual American Design Hot List, Sight Unseen’s editorial award for the names to know now in American design.
