WHAT:              The 11th annual Architectural Digest Home Design Show is a four-day event that features the best in home design from more than 400 premium brands. A marketplace for the industry’s top professionals and discerning consumers, it covers a range of categories including: home furnishings, accessories, art, kitchen and bath products, flooring, fabric, lighting, outdoor products, and more. Attendees will also be treated to seminars and intimate consultations with design-world luminaries, cooking sessions with notable chefs, book signings, special events, and more. The show is produced by Merchandise Mart Properties Inc. (MMPI), hosted by Architectural Digest, and co-sponsored by The New York Times.

Show Highlights Include:

·         The debut of reFRESH
New York’s latest design destination, this new pavilion is dedicated exclusively to manufacturers of premium kitchen, bath, and building products. Featuring more than 100 brands, the centralized space will serve as a source for inspiration and innovation, and has already doubled the size of the show’s K&B offerings. This “show-within-a-show” will also host culinary demonstrations and tastings from top New York chefs.

·         More at MADE
The popular MADE section showcases a juried selection of limited-edition and one-of-a-kind fine art objects, furniture, and lighting, all available for purchase during the event. Many of the MADE exhibitors offer custom work for more specific needs. Since launching in 2008, the section has quadrupled in size. The 2012 edition will feature 160 participants. A special bar, created by the Brooklyn-based exhibitor Think Fabricate, will be positioned within MADE to serve up drinks and treats from the borough.

·         AD100 Designer Consultations
The standard-bearers and trailblazers of the new AD100—Architectural Digest’s biennial list of the top architects and interior designers around the globe—are at the forefront of their fields. Attendees can join select design teams from the offices of AD100 honorees for one-on-one sessions at the show’s first-ever AD100 Designer Consultation Suite, located at the west wall of Pier 94. Twenty-minute sessions are scheduled in advance by appointment only. Consultation reservations can be made after February 20 through ADHomeDesignShow.com. Walk-ins will be accommodated on a first-come, first-served basis.

·         The Show Lounge, furnished by Ligne Roset and designed by Rich, Brilliant, Willing
The 2012 Ligne Roset Lounge will be designed by one of New York City’s most innovative multi-disciplinary studios: Rich, Brilliant, Willing. The internationally renowned trio has reimagined the space and will outfit it with the newest pieces from Ligne Roset’s collection. Ploum, an upholstered sofa by the Bouroullec brothers for Ligne Roset and recipient of a Good Design award, will make its debut at the show.

·         A New Fabric Exhibition
Located in the center of the show, this dramatic installation will feature new collections from top textile manufacturers. It will offer design inspiration and showcase the latest trends in fabrics. The 12-foot-high drapery panel displays will bring additional eye candy to an already impressive landscape.

·         Outdoor Exposed
Just in time for summer shopping, the show will feature a number of new collections for living and dining alfresco. Outdoor furnishings from Ligne Roset, Royal Botania, D'Apostrophe, Kenneth Cobonpue, Brown Jordan, and Pennoyer Newman, as well as a stunning selection of premium outdoor kitchens from Sub-Zero, Kalamazoo, and Lynx will be on display throughout the show. In addition, the Fabric Exhibition will showcase a range of textiles suitable for outdoor use.
