The 2019 Core77 Design Awards New York Celebration at Kickstarter

To celebrate the 2019 Core77 Design Awards announced last Wednesday, Core77 threw a celebration on the rooftop of Kickstarter headquarters in Brooklyn, New York on the evening of June 12th to recognize and toast to the designers who took home honors in this year’s awards. The party was packed with Core77 friends, with fantastic drinks from Duke’s Liquor Box and catered snacks from Campbell Cheese & Grocery. Hidden within the garden was a tarot reader on deck to help any party attendees learn more about their futures, as well as a sketch challenge that asked partygoers to imagine an Ultimate Dad Shoe in conjunction with our Instagram Design-athlon (the prize being a pin from our friends at Studio Cult!).

Overall, it was a fantastic night and it couldn’t have been what it was without the presence of our Core77 community. Thanks for hanging with us IRL!

The winner of our party sketch challenge was Katie Lim, whose “Ultimate Dad Shoe” comes with an integrated toddler stool that allows dad to get a calf workout when the kids decide to hang on for dear life.

The tarot card reader was stealthily hidden in the garden; anyone who could find her was treated to a reading.
