If your penchant for good design ideas and locations goes beyond flipping through an IKEA catalog (or maybe even Pinterest), you will appreciate the eye candy in this excellent new Android app made in collaboration with Wallpaper* magazine.
The Global Design Tours app, which features cool design locales in Milan, Hong Kong and now New York (just in time for the International Contemporary Furniture Festival) are curated by top designers. You’ll not find cool design spots, shows and installations, and even experiential suggestions that even locals might not know about, like sipping a cocktail in the beautiful library at the NoMad Hotel or eating lunch in a classroom at M. Wells Dinette.
In addition to the cool visual vibe, each location featured in the app is accompanied by a specially-selected music track that goes along with the pick for a total sensory experience. (And of course if you love it, you can purchase it directly from Amazon. Smart.)
For those of you with HTC One phones, you’re in luck: the app has been optimized for your devices, which means that the sound will be richer coming out of those front-facing speakers. But don’t worry if you’ve got another Android phone; the app still works just fine for you too. -Jeana
Global Design Tours app is available as a free Android app in Google Play.
