The New York Eleven Plus (NY11+) Annual Interior Design Student Exhibition, this year titled Interior Design: Designing for Wellness, will open at the Teknion showroom in New York City on April 2, 2019.
NY11+ was founded in 1997 by Ruth Lynford, FASID, CID, AIA Assoc., as an exhibition of work from prestigious New York State educational institutions, all offering programs in Interior Design of four-years or more.  To date, more than a dozen schools join together each year in an effort to reach the general public, the press and the design community through their students’ work.
