Wanted Design

, the program of designer panels, project previews, and comfy hang-out spaces that took over a portion of Chelsea’s Terminal Stores in spring of 2011, will be returning again for the duration of this year’s

International Contemporary Furniture Fair

. From May 19-21, the space will play host to a series of events that act (as its creators describe them) “as a platform to bring together international designers, architects, interior designers, craftsmen, editors,” and more. The 2012 line-up will include a pop-up shop by designer product purveyor
