New York Design Week 2013: Off the Grid: Lighting Trend

In conjunction with NYCxDESIGN and WantedDesign, this month Manhattan’s Gallery R'Pure presented "Off the Grid," an exhibit featuring new pieces from Brooklyn-based, French-born François Chambard and New York-based Frederick McSwain. The presentation of furnishings that require no electricity inspired us to get unplugged-what better way to unwind after NYC Design Week than by enjoying a cold drink by the warm glow of firelight?
