Do you read Curbed National?

I love the e-zine that delivers intelligence on dining & nightlife, shopping & fashion, and design & real estate to an affluent and influential urban audience.

Each year, this trendy publication searches for the very best, brightest young talent in the design world. To make sure the list is accurate and the winners are in fact the best in the US, the editors select a jury of experts to sift through hundreds of public nominations before announcing their list of Top Young Guns in design. The 2014 list includes a diverse suite of community builders, multitaskers, traditionalists, and neighborhood revivalists.

The winners include a wide variety of designers, including furniture makers, green-roof growers, structural engineers, and what Curbed calls the “people who make community spaces out of refrigerators.” Every winner is 35 or under, currently employed in the United States, and shows extraordinary promise. These are the designers to watch, who will be setting the trends in the future for all sorts of designs! Be sure to sign up for Curbed National so you can read about the winners in daily stories.
