Agency 's designs on the Big Apple

A Sutton Coldfield agency 's desire to explore new creative trends has taken them across the Atlantic to one of the world 's biggest design festivals.

PLOTT Creative managing director Anna Plotnek and creative director Richard Plotnek were among the attendees at the tenth NYCxDESIGN Festival in New York.

NYCxDESIGN showcases the best of New York city design - in person and virtually - through open studio tours, workshops, public installations, talks, tours and more.

The festival unites designers from all disciplines, allows them to make new connections and share ideas.

It provided a great opportunity for PLOTT - based at Coppice Garden Centre in Middleton - to network with and learn from designers and creators on an international scale.

Anna said: “We at PLOTT like to explore new creative trends. It inspires us and drives us to stay ahead of the curve.

“The last couple of years have seen limited opportunities to do so in person.

“Getting to network in New York was a dream come true. There's no other city on the planet with an energy that can compete with New York.

“The fast pace, the buzzing traffic, the hustle and bustle of the people, the 24-hour life, and the creative spirit make NYC one of the most vibrant places in the world.

“Over the years the festival has attracted thousands of national and international visitors to New York City.

“The festival is all about connection, networking and uniting designers from all disciplines.

“It creates so many special moments that you truly feel a part of a community bigger than yourself, your studio and your own profession. It 's a very magical thing to experience. We highly recommend it. ”
