The Decoration & Design (D&D) Building’s Fall Market returned for two days of inspired and inspiring design in New York City. Dubbed “Quarter-Century Style,” this year’s theme commemorated the 21st century’s milestone anniversary by reflecting on the past and looking ahead to the future of style and design in the home industry. The two-day market was a prominent event for architects, interior designers, and other design professionals, offering access to the newest collections from world-class showrooms.
