Design on a Dime Returns to Metropolitan Pavilion to Combat Homelessness in NYC

Housing Works is a favored charity in New York City, benefitting from the support for the last 17 years of Design on a Dime NYC, a design benefit at the Metropolitan Pavilion for which acclaimed interior designers create rooms with home décor, furniture, art, and housewares donated from hundreds of brands. Everything is for sale at 50-80% off, and proceeds benefit Housing Works' mission to combat HIV and homelessness. “We are excited to return to the Metropolitan Pavilion with our first full-scale event in two years. The design community's unwavering support for Housing Works — year after year — has been incredibly inspiring. The continued generosity of the participating designers and brands has helped to raise millions of dollars to assist New Yorkers in need," said Design on a Dime Founding Chair, James Huniford.
This year the design benefit events run April 20-23, beginning with the Groundbreaker Awards dinner chaired by Charlotte Moss and Cliff Fong, honoring actor/activist Patricia Arquette, Kering Americas President Laurent Claquin, and fashion industry legend and activist Bethann Hardison on April 20 followed by opening night Thursday, April 21 to VIP ticket holders. Public sale days are free entry, running April 22-23 and always attract an enormous buying crowd looking for deals on fine art, luxury home decor and furnishings.

Among the design brands and dealers participating in this year’s show are BDDW, Bernd Goeckler Inc., Hostler Burrows, Interlude Home, Lobel Modern Inc., MAISON GERARD, Studio Van den Akker and Tucker Robbins Inc., as well as some big brands: Knoll, Fortuny, CB2, DWR, Kaiyo, West Elm and Williams Sonoma. But what is so alluring is the way the designers combine merchandise to style the vignettes. Everything is for sale, and each designer pushes to include as much material as possible while still expressing their own aesthetic.
