Reet Aus returns to NYCxDESIGN 2025
We’re excited to share that Reet Aus will be part of this year’s NYCxDESIGN in New York City, where we join a powerful lineup of Estonian designers redefining sustainability in design.
Estonian Design House, in collaboration with The Canvas and Scandinavia House, is once again part of NYCxDESIGN, New York City’s premier design festival. From May 15–21, we’ll celebrate sustainable innovation, creativity, and craftsmanship across a week of events spotlighting Estonian and Baltic-Nordic design in the heart of Manhattan.

Location: The Canvas SoHo, 456 West Broadway
Conscious design from Estonia and Ukraine—where sustainability meets style.
This curated pop-up store, led by Estonian Design House, brings together over 15 designers from Estonia, including Reet Aus, showcasing fashion, furniture, and product design rooted in circular values and craftsmanship. Also featured is Ukrainian jewellery brand Grains de Verre, adding a powerful voice to the creative dialogue.
Estonia’s design scene is built on principles of environmental responsibility, functionality, and minimalist beauty.
