Egg Collective, a New York-based design company, has put together an exhibition in its West Soho studio space called 'Designing Women.' As the name suggests, the works in the exhibition were crafted by women from various design fields, shining a light on up-and-coming female talent while also exemplifying pieces from established designers.
Egg Collective's founders are themselves female designers, and their goal with the Designing Women show is to "support equality and empowerment of women worldwide," according to Egg Collective's website.
The pieces in the show are assembled in room layouts, and they run the gamut. It shows off various furnishings, lighting, sculptural decor, artwork, jewelry, and many other fields of design. In truth, the only connective factor is that the studios displaying the work need to be all-female run and owned.
