New York City Ballet, seeking to furnish the promenade at its theater for pre-performance socializing, has found a cost-effective method. In exchange for featuring the work of three young design firms, it is receiving the free use of their furniture for the season. “We're getting this furniture for the comfort of our patrons, and they're getting the showcase of Lincoln Center,†Rob Daniels, the company's spokesman, said.
The seating areas will “draw inspiration†from City Ballet and from the architecture of the David H. Koch Theater, a news release said. The three designers chosen by the company are based in Brooklyn. They are Egg Collective, made up of Crystal Ellis, Stephanie Beamer and Hill ary Petrie; Asher Israelow, a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design whose studio is in the Brooklyn Navy Yard; and Token, whose principals are Will Kavesh and Emrys Berkower.
