Studio Cadena’s “Happy” was the winning entry for the 5th annual Flatiron Public Holiday Design Competition and will be on display Nov. 19 to Jan. 1.

Despite the fact that we’re only now getting some chilly autumn weather, winter is, as they say, coming. While the city can be a dreary place during those months, the winning installation of this year’s Flatiron Public Plaza Holiday Design Competition is going to offer New Yorkers a bit of happy, colorful warmth.

Brooklyn-based Studio Cadena’s “Happy” will feature 24 transparent vinyl screens hanging down invitingly from an open frame to capture seasonal light and give off a cozy glow.

“Happy” is the fifth annual winner of the Flatiron Public Plaza Holiday Design Competition, which is a joint effort between the Flatiron/23rd Street Partnership Business Improvement District and the Van Alen Institute.
