Inside~Out, an exhibition of outdoor design curated and launched by Kin & Company in 2019, focuses on bringing the exciting work of the burgeoning American design scene to the outdoor space. The outdoor furniture market had been largely overlooked by the independent design community and many designers jumped at the opportunity to fill the void by participating in the first and only NYCxDESIGN show to feature exclusively outdoor work. Initially located at Vale Park, the idiosyncratic elevated green space adjacent Brooklyn’s William Vale hotel, Inside~Out created an opportunity for visitors to interact with contemporary design in a personal and casual setting.
Although originally conceived as an interactive design show highlighting social engagement, in light of the Coronavirus pandemic, the 2020 works were instead presented virtually within otherworldly landscapes created by the artist Duyi Han, with a subsequent live show in 2021, in partnership with the residential development St. Marks Place.
