Today, New York City bursts into every color of the rainbow as millions gather to celebrate Pride —a day filled with love, joy, community, and the freedom to be exactly who you are. One of the things I love most about New York is that it’s a city where creativity, individuality, and self-expression aren’t just accepted — they’re celebrated. Whether you’re marching in the parade, cheering from the sidelines, spending time with friends, or simply soaking up the incredible energy around the city, Pride is a reminder that our differences are what make the world a more vibrant and interesting place.

Some symbols can move the whole world. The Rainbow Flag, first unfurled at the San Francisco Gay and Lesbian Freedom Day Parade on June 25, 1978, is a gleaming example. Led by Gilbert Baker (1951  – 2017), a political activist and designer, 30 volunteers hand-dyed and stitched rainbow flags for the event.

Front and center was what I can only describe as a Pride-themed Christmas Tree, and honestly, it might be one of the most joyful things I’ve ever seen.

Robert Watts’ Case of Eggs (with Rainbow Wax Eggs) (1964) is a sly and playful gem from the Fluxus movement — an artwork that feels as visually satisfying as it is conceptually rich. Set in a clear acrylic case, a tidy arrangement of wax eggs gleams in a spectrum of soft, sherbet-colored hues. Like much of the artist’s output, this piece teases the line between the banal and the extraordinary.

If a rainbow could sprout legs and become a piece of furniture, it might look something like the Arc en Ciel semainier by French design duo Élisabeth Garouste and Mattia Bonetti. Created in 1998 as a limited edition of just eight pieces, this chest of drawers is less about stashing your socks and more about making a serious statement.
