The Furniture Society and the Neuberger Museum of Art, Purchase College, State University of New York, will jointly sponsor a competitive exhibition, MULTIPLICITY, the Art of the Furniture Prototype, to be presented at the Museum 15 June - 10 August 2008.

The Society’s 12th annual conference will take place at Purchase College, 18 – 21 June 2008. The competition is open to studio furniture makers, artists, architects and industrial designers. Prototypes may be of any type of furniture in any materials - created since January 2000 – and intended for production, whether small batch or mass production. Only full-scale, completed prototypes will be accepted. A full-color catalog of the exhibition, with contributed essays, will be published and distributed by the Furniture Society. In addition, the exhibition sponsors will present three awards of $3,500, $1,000, and $500 selected by the jurors. These prize winning pieces will also be displayed at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) 17-20 May 2008.
