Brooklyn based designer Ravi Raj and L.A.’s Mike Jozewicz are the winners of our 2019 Design Competition. They are collaborating on new seating that will be an integral part of 1014’s diverse program formats. The Open Call challenged artists, makers, and designers to create modular seating elements that intervene with the given traditional architecture of a townhouse yet respect its legacy and history.

Congratulations to the winners and a big thank you for all the wonderful entries we received!
