Perhaps more than any other artistic endeavor, design whole-heartedly embraces commerce and the market. They simultaneously work with their hands-the year’s buzzwords, “craft” and “maker,” speak to that-and utilize the most bleeding-edge technology. Designers are fearless, lateral-thinking problem solvers. Designers embody all of the virtues of our new gilded age, and indeed thinking “like a designer” is preached in boardrooms from Wall Street to Silicon Valley. Of course, recognizing design as the century’s premiere art form is not necessarily a compliment. It can be intoxicating to surround yourself with this much beauty, and a true appreciation for a design can make a person act like some caricature of a stoner, turning everyday objects over in the hands again and again, silently appreciating seams or novel details. Because unlike many of the other beautiful objects in our lives, the things designers make invite us to use them in fact, they demand it. Many of them design the objects and spaces we interact with on a regular-and even daily-basis. Many of the names on this list collaborate with each other, went to the same schools, or feature each other in their stores. Design is the premiere art form of the 21st century for this issue, we’ve selected a gaggle of people at the absolute pinnacle of Brooklyn design.
