What’s Next in Boutique Design

A good starting point for boutique design in the hospitality industry was the BDNY show in NYC this month. BDNY connected designers and hospitality brands with innovative vendors, creating a one of kind experience for products and services under one roof for two days at the Javits Center. Over 700 exhibitors presented furnishings, lighting, textiles, and much more for hotels, restaurants, spas, clubs and cruise ships. The show highlighted the latest trends in boutique design which will influence the future of hospitality for years to come for designers, architects, brand leaders, developers, and purchasers.
