Several pieces have never before been seen in the U.S.

"Smart Deco," presented by Barry Friedman and Droog Design is a "21st century period room" decorated with commissioned pieces by European designers such as Marcel Wanders.
Presented by R20th Century Gallery and Steuben Glass, "New Objects: USA" will honor traditions and techniques in hand-crafting furniture via the works of designer-artists such a Wendell Castle and Jeff Zimmerman. R20th Century will also present "Paula Hayes/Hugo França," focusing on Hayes's artful glass terrariums, planters, and birdhouses, alongside Hugo França's sculptural furniture made from fallen trees.
