Friedman Benda Friedman Benda identifies and advances key narratives that intersect contemporary design, craft, architecture, fine art, and cutting-edge technological research. The gallery promotes synthesis between leading creative thinkers and makers by creating opportunities to advance new connections within the global design community. Friedman Benda is committed to a critical view of design history. We aim to expand the design dialogue from its established sources, exploring perspectives that have previously been marginalized. Spanning five continents and four generations, Friedman Benda represents a roster of seminal established and emerging designers, as well as historically significant estates. Since 2007, the galleryâ€™s exhibitions, publications and collaborations with institutions have played a vital role in the development of the contemporary design market and scholarship. 515 West 26th Street New York, NY 10001 United States gallery@friedmanbenda.com (212) 239-8700 www.friedmanbenda.com
