The Lost & Found｜Thanksgiving Pop-Up Market, presented by NotYetDesign, successfully concluded on November 22–23, 2025, at 46 Market St, New York, NY 10002. Designed as an immersive exploration of “Memory in Motion,” the two-day event blended a lifestyle market, micro-exhibition, creative healing, and community storytelling—attracting a vibrant mix of creators, brand founders, artists, and New York’s cultural community.

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.
