LIXIL & ICFF | WantedDesign 2023, New York City

Our LIXIL Design team has been busy the last few weeks, with two key events here in New York.
 
On May 16th to 19th, LIXIL sponsored the WantedDesign 2023 Schools Workshop, where seven schools from four countries brought students together to collaborate and address water cleanliness and accessibility in a public space. I was proud to return to this workshop as a judge and ambassador for LIXIL, and I’m always grateful for the opportunity to mentor the next generation of industrial designers. 
 
Earlier last week we attended the ICFF’s Emerging Designer event, which is sponsored by @American Standard. Six designers introduced innovative products in the furniture, lighting & accessory categories, pushing the boundary for what’s possible with current tools and technology. I’m so inspired by the creativity and ingenuity that we saw at this showcase, and can not wait to see these ideas come to fruition. 
 
Our partnership with WantedDesign allows us to connect with emerging talents and lets us get a first look at exciting new ideas and products, just as we develop more sustainable practices in our building and designing processes.
