Printsource New York, The Premier Market for Surface and Textile Design in the USA, holds three shows a year in New York City. As the hub for the world’s top creative talent, Printsource showcases hundreds of collections by international surface and textile design studios and agents. England, France, Italy, Spain, Australia and the U.S.A. are just some of the countries featured each season at the Show, which is the main resource for surface and textile design for America's major manufacturers, retailers and catalogs. The Show covers such industries as men's, children's and women's apparel, bed and bath, kitchen and tabletop, paper goods and stationery, wall coverings, window fashions as well as other surface and textile design applications. Printsource is located at 7 West 34th street, New York, NY For more information visit – www.printsourcenewyork.com
The Spring/Summer 2013 preview show featured over 150 exhibitors from around the world. At the show you will find original one of a kind designs as well as hard to find vintage designs for sale. Average price is around $450 to $550 per design, depending on the design house, these prices are negotiable but be prepared to purchase more than one design to get the best price. Once you purchase a design it is yours and will not be sold again. When you purchase a design you are responsible for any production.
Anyone can purchase an original design from these designers. Designs are for the most part original one of a kinds and once a design is purchased it is not sold again.
Designers will sell a design to anyone wanting to purchase, designers do not require that any one have specific credentials. The only caveat is once purchased the designer has nothing more to do with it. You are responsible for getting the design printed on what ever textile or surface you choose, with the use of technology this is now more accessible than ever.
Do you need to be in a particular industry, business, position? No
In my opinion more interior designers should visit this great resource for its rich potential of new never before seen textile and vintage designs. If you want to create interiors that are fresh and unique without relying on the normal textile house to have a design that has been used in other designs than this is the place to be you'll be amazed at the creativity and ease of doing business with many of these companies.
