Kite Design Exhibition and Auction
If you caught our latest podcast on FlyNY, New York’s new kite design and flying competition, you might be wondering what some of the winning designs actually look like. Check them out at the FlyNY exhibit and auction at the Knoll showroom in Chelsea. You’ll see everything from collapsible and biodegradable tetrahedral kites to ten-foot-high architectural flying machines and even flying underpants. Get your hands on your favorite kite during the auction when all designs will be available to the highest bidder.
Join FlyNY for an exhibition and auction of distinguished kite designs. Please RSVP for the exhibition prior to May 22nd, by emailing info@flyny.org
