“Lost & Found” Pop-Up Market That Brought New York Together Through Memory, Art, And Design
Rooted in NotYetDesign's mission to merge art, design, and emotional experience, the event transformed a storefront on Market Street into a living archive of stories, handcrafted objects, and artistic expression.
A Pop-Up About Memory, Connection, and Collective Healing
The Lost & Found project built a temporary space where visitors were invited to reconnect with themselves-and each other-through stories and objects.
Key activations included:
-
10+ Global Independent Brands: This edition of Lost & Found showcased more than ten independent brands and artists spanning lifestyle, fashion, fragrance, accessories, wellness, and contemporary craft.
Story Drop-Off Wall: Hundreds of attendees anonymously contributed memories, unsent letters, and emotional fragments.
Micro Art Exhibition: New media and handcrafted works created reflective touchpoints throughout the space.
Multiple micro-influencers documented the event through vlogs, stories, and reviews.
The event offered New Yorkers a rare pause amid the holiday rush-an invitation to slow down, reconnect, and witness the beauty of shared human experience.
