This year's Sight Unseen OFFSITE, produced and curated by Monica Khemsurov and Jill Singer, was one of our favorite parts of NYC's month-long celebration of art and design. Featuring an eclectic range of fierce designers, OFFSITE completely blew us away. Here are some of our favorites:

We went crazy for Kelly Behun and Alex P. White's super chic Neo Laminati design furniture, and were particularly impressed by the handwoven Moroccan rugs and the super-cool geometric plant holder. With plenty of optical illusions, there's not a piece we don't majorly covet.

We're definitely lusting after Material Lust's "Geometry is God" line. Our favorite thing about Material Lust is their clear and sharp point of view. Taking anarchy to the sublime is easy for Lauren Larson and Christian Lopez Swafford. We very much appreciated their mixture of materials--how can you go wrong with black glass, brass, and blackened metal?

From the outskirts of Bali to this New York City show, Field Experiments provided an incredible installation of thoughtful artisanal artwork. With unbelievable expertly dyed indigo pieces, as well as funky face-painted art rocks, we give huge kudos to this hot trio.

Shockingly, mariomilana is some of the most comfortable furniture we've ever sat on. With innovative and colorful ergonomics, these designs are out of site. We loved the Rulla rocking chair.
