This year, the Architectural Digest Design Show presents three specially-curated installations that offer attendees a multifaceted, immersive, and unrivaled design experience. From a reimagined AD Apartment — an iconic component of the annual show — to an exclusive look at the exceptional work of American design firms and a new exhibition featuring the best of Portuguese design, attendees can expect an unmatched industry event.
A sample of the show’s must-see items are listed below:
AD APARTMENT: The AD Apartment presents bold ideas and sophisticated solutions for cosmopolitan design enthusiasts. This year’s exhibition, presented by Monogram, is envisioned by the celebrated AD100 design firm, Drake/Anderson. The AD Apartment is a sophisticated, yet playful space anchored by rich amethyst walls, interesting textures, and reflective surfaces that create an alluring design for the modern apartment dweller. The composition of this contemporary loft emphasizes a unique take on cosmopolitan living through attainable and thoughtful design along with uniquely Clever tips that any design enthusiast will appreciate.
Featuring a suite of Monogram products, the AD Apartment kitchen demonstrates elevation through expert engineering, minimalist elegance, and purposeful design. The apartment also features lighting from Circa Lighting; home furnishings from Room & Board; surfaces from Dekton by Cosentino; hardwood flooring by PID Floors; a kitchen faucet by Brizo; modern, luxurious rugs by Stepevi; heirloom upcycled bed frame, mattress, and bedding by Tuft & Needle; and innovative touches inspired by AD’s popular editorial feature, Clever.
DESIGNER FOCUS: Joshua David Home, Circa Interiors, Current, and Christopher Architecture and Interiors come together in a new section that showcases each firm’s distinctive design sensibilities and expert vision in four unique interiors. The vignettes will provide a look at the kind of creativity that occurs when the different teams approach the design process without the constraints of a project-specific client brief. Attendees can connect with the designers in these spaces, as well as catch them on the show stage during Sunday’s AD Design Show Series programming when they discuss the pitfalls and praise they that occur when hiring a designer.
ASSOCIATIVE DESIGN: Organized by the Portuguese Association of Wood and Furniture Industries (AIMMP), this new installation features an expertly curated and diverse mix of design, innovation, and technology, including furniture, lighting, and objets d’art from a selection of top Portuguese designers including Duquesa & Malvada, Muranti Furniture, MBN Group, and De Fontes.
