When we named our 10 Brooklyn design firms you should know last month, we asked each of them who their favorite designers (other than themselves) working in the borough are.

In a testament to the depth and breadth of the Brooklyn design world, only one firm made both our list and the designers’ list, Dumbo’s Work & Co. And not only that, not one of the designer’s faves overlapped with anyone else’s.

What follows are our favorite designers’ favorite designers, broken down by speciality (roughly, most of them do more than one thing) and with a description of themselves. We didn’t include who named who, because we thought it would be better this way.

Some of the designers are far out, like Emilie Baltz, who designs food and scent experiences, and some are more mainstream, like Everything Type Company, which has done work for The Fader magazine and the Brooklyn Historical Society, but they all have the respect of their peers. Here they are, with a short description pulled from their websites.
