Eight new designers, based in Canada, South Korea, England, New York City, Detroit, and Murfreesboro, TN, have been accepted for the New York International Gift Fair's "A+: The Young Designers' Platform" as part of its Accent on Design section.

“These designers prove that new and innovative design can be applied to even the most utilitarian objects, such as compost bins and power strips,” said Dorothy Belshaw, NYIGF director and senior vp/George Little Management. “Several of these designers also have incorporated eco-friendly materials and production practices into their products, which is a promising indication of the future of design.”

The designers include Salvatore Fuccillo and Jennifer MacEwan of Fuccillo Design Inc., Charlotte Hosen, Soonmo Jang of 0.1vision, Hila Rawet Karni, Andy Kem of Kem3D, Efecum Kutuk, Andie Olive of BioDidactic Designs and John Truex and Jason Connelly of Borough Furnace.
