The second annual Salon Art + Design show which featured exhibitors from both the design and art worlds, closed last week, after a successful run at New York City’s Park Avenue Armory.
"This year's show was a stunning and remarkable mixture of art and design from the turn of the century to present time with highlights from ethnographic art and the antiquities,” said interior designer Amy Lau. “As a designer, I was truly inspired by the combination and interaction of these periods and the fascinating environment they created together.”

A portion of the proceeds from the evening benefited the Kips Bay Boys and Girls Club.

Exhibitors agreed that this year's show was a great improvement from the first edition, which took place when Hurricane Sandy ravaged the tri-state area in October 2012. "We had more traffic in the first night than throughout last year’s entire show," said exhibitor Friedman Benda, who was hopeful for a successful second edition and grateful for the design talent that came out to view his work.
