In a unique exhibit that features a collection of 53 different pieces of furniture designed by 30 designers and architects, children and adults alike were able to draw on [furniture that was featured](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mise-en-abymes).

Called 'drINK' and featured at NYXxDESIGNS, each piece of furniture was to be auctioned off. The fact that much of it was been doodled on made the experience and the final product extremely unique. The concept allowed for a fun and [immersive experience](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3daysofdesign-2025) in which the participants were not passive viewers of the exhibit, but actually a large part of the creative process.

The draw on furniture exhibit was also socially conscious, with proceeds from the auctioned pieces going towards Sean Casey Animal Rescue.
