AD Design Show Returns to NYC Mar. 17-20
ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST DESIGN SHOW 2016: The Essential Showcase for Luxury Design Debuts a New Name
The Architectural Digest Design Show (formerly known as the Architectural Digest Home Design Show) returns to New York City this year from March 17–20, 2016 at Pier 92 & 94 with a new name that embodies the comprehensive luxury design experience it provides. An authoritative platform for design across disciplines, the show is a source for discerning trade professionals and consumers seeking superior solutions for their homes, businesses, and commercial projects.
Visitors can expect to find innovative design, including furniture, accessories, art, kitchen and bath products, carpet, stone and tile, lighting, and more, plus a rich seminar schedule with design luminaries. The 2016 exhibitor lineup features more than 400 brands and over 117 new exhibitors—69 of them in the show’s MADE section, which showcases top young design talents.
“It is important that our name reflects the breadth of categories and brands represented at the show, and our broad reach. We hear countless success stories from exhibitors who have had their products selected straight from our aisles for the most prestigious projects—from celebrity homes to the windows of luxury fashion flagships to interior design and architecture that graces the covers of magazines and retail catalogues,“ remarks Jeff Peterson, director of exhibitor sales.
Susan McCullough, senior vice president, Vornado/The Mart, adds, “More and more we are seeing residential design ideas and products being incorporated into high-end hospitality and retail projects, while residential design is being influenced by contract and hospitality trends.The AD Design Show is the place where this all comes together, offering luxury without limits.”
