1stDibs, the leading marketplace for extraordinary design, has announced this year’s 1stDibs 50. The list consists of 50 of the most talented designers globally whose work is profiled on 1stDibs.com alongside an extraordinary project they designed.
The 2022 1stDibs 50 spotlights a fresh and diverse group of talent. Notably, it features 20 designers who are completely new to the list this year. Of the 50 total firms, half are female designer-led and 13 are Black and historically underrepresented designer-led. The list features a range of designers based both domestically and abroad. The 1stDibs 50 reflects the brand’s commitment to supporting deserving talent both in the U.S. and around the world.
“Each year we look forward to selecting our 1stDibs 50 nominees,” said Anthony Barzilay Freund, Editorial Director and Director of Fine Art, 1stDibs. “Our team meticulously narrows down a list of extraordinary talent from across the globe who’ve created unforgettable spaces that are smartly curated and singular in their point of view. This year we are especially privileged to highlight such a diverse and global list of talent within our community and to shine a light on so many women-led firms that are operating at the very pinnacle of the profession. We’re honored to celebrate all these designers' remarkable recent projects and acknowledge their significant contributions to the design world in general.”
Through a rigorous selection process by the 1stDibs editorial team, each nominee is carefully chosen to be featured on this prestigious list. Each designer is showcased on 1stDibs.com accompanied by a standout room from one of their most noteworthy projects, with links to view the entire project. Every room is accompanied by a group of pieces selected by the designer from the platform’s supply of New & Custom, Vintage & Antique, art and décor offerings. These selections, along with the designers’ explanations of why they find each piece compelling, can help viewers “get the look” of a 1stDibs 50 room. The 1stDibs 50 digital hub can be viewed here.
