Yesterday’s rainy weather did nothing to deter our spirits as the Inhabitat team of Jill, Abigail, Mike and Ali headed to BKLYN Designs to check out this three day local design extravaganza. Your intrepid Inhabitat team took to the streets of Brooklyn to scope out the sustainable scene at this year’s event, and we’ve found plenty of fresh, new green designs to share with you. We discovered beautiful lighting ideas in LED designs from PRATT Institute (pictured below); new eco-friendly pieces from some of our favorite Brooklyn-based designers like Brave Space, IglooPLAY, Argington; and many debut green designs that are destined for greatness.
