NEW YORK—The final day of the four-day Architectural Digest Home Design Show, which ran March 17–20, was teeming with people meandering their way through booths that offered a wide array of handmade art, home furnishing, and interior-design products.
New vendors were cautiously optimistic while veteran vendors were encouraged to see the swelling number of visitors to the show at Pier 94 compared to previous years. They also noted a shift in mood, from penny-pinching to ready-to-buy.
This was the 10th annual show, featuring hundreds of manufacturers, galleries, artists, and designers with offerings for the luxury-design market. The MADE section offered handmade, one-of-a-kind or limited-edition luxury art and furnishing pieces. Attendees could also take in seminars with design-world luminaries and cooking sessions with noted chefs.
This year for the first time, organizers held a “Dream Room” design challenge, pairing consumers with renowned interior decorators, and a digital scavenger hunt with an iPhone prize for the winner.
