About Collective Design

In 2013, architect Steven Learner launched the Collective Design Fair with a collective of gallerists, curators, collectors and interior designers. Held in New York City each spring as part of New York’s Design Week, it was the first of its kind: a space for galleries and designers to elevate their visibility, for established creative studios to showcase new work, and for the design community to discover talent and commission projects.

As the design world has changed, the Collective Design vision has also transformed and expanded. Our online platform continues to introduce  new talent to design professionals, the essential feature of fairs, through Source, an international directory of top designers for commissions and collaborations.

Agency gives studios and firms access to Learner’s perspective across the art and design communities, offering strategic direction and introductions between a rich network of design studios, professionals, clients, curators and press.
