Incollect Celebrates 100 Years of Design at the Winter Show in New York
What happens when you put two of the largest, most prestigious marketplaces for art, design and antiques together? Answer: You get “100 Years of Design,” an elegant and tightly curated booth organized by Incollect, the premier website for collectible art and design, now on display at the revered Winter Show in New York.
The booth is designed to showcase some of the best design and decorative arts of the 20th and 21st centuries with a selection of more than three dozen pieces from Incollect dealers. The pieces, from Europe and the Americas, range in date from 1924 to 2024 and together celebrate a century of design.

The patination is stunning on this table and the etched female nudes are sublime. Striations in base are meant to resemble a wood pedestal. Courtesy of Lobel Modern. Right: Conoid Side Table by American master woodworker and designer George Nakashima is formed by a live-edge slab of American Black Walnut with sap grain detail and natural openings, with separations in the highly figured grain bridged by one rosewood butterfly.

Left: Pair of “Fiori” wall sconces by Jacques Jarrige. Inspired by Karl Blossfeldt’s photographs of flora, this unique pair of wall lights are cut from one sheet of brass. Without discarding any of it, the artist, in dialogue with the material, twisted and hammered it by hand to shape each light. The result is a sculptural work that seems in movement as the branches of a tree. Courtesy of Valerie Goodman gallery. Right: Pair of Gabriella Crespi wall sconces. Lacquered Brass.

The booth is organized by John Smiroldo, founder of Incollect in collaboration with dealers from the website. “We are most grateful to the Incollect dealers who are offering these works. Their passion, their expert scholarship, and brilliant curation are evident in the quality and rarity of pieces,” Smiroldo says.
Taking place this year January 19–28, The Winter Show is the largest, most important antique, design, and fine art fair in the United States in terms of the quality of exhibitors and the material they bring for display. Every object is vetted for its authenticity, date, and condition by a committee of over 100 experts drawn from the United States and Europe. “The 70th Anniversary edition continues to exceed expectations with the quality of works dealers are bringing,” fair director Helen Allen says.
Objects on display in the Incollect booth (B12) celebrate the unrestrained luxury of French Art Deco, the exuberance of Post-War Italian design, the sleekness of form in French Mid-Century style, and the verve of Brazilian Modernism. There are also rare and important works from the American Studio Craft Movement, pieces reflecting the glamor and elegance of Hollywood Regency style, and unique, limited edition contemporary collectible design.

Lighting is a major feature of the Incollect booth with several iconic designs on display from such important names in the history of designs as Gabriella Crespi (Italian, 1922–2017), Garouste & Bonetti, Jacques Jarrige (French, b. 1962), and Angelo Lelli (Italian, 1911–1979). Andrew Lord (British, b. 1950), the ceramic artist, is also represented here with an outstanding, unique standing floor lamp made of solid cast bronze and a hand-made papier-mâché shade.
“Each of these items is an expression of the designer’s unique vision, and each evokes its moment in time, and the timeless appeal of a truly beautiful work of art,” Smiroldo says. The works in the booth — and several thousand more — can be discovered on Incollect.com.
