All About the AD Design Show 2019

During 4 Days, PIERS 92 & 94 at 55th Street at 12th Avenue in New York City will be the Place to Be if you Love Interior Design and Get Inspired by this Industry! A world of design inspiration awaits you at the 18th annual AD Show, a top design show where the world’s most exclusive brands along with today’s top talent come together in a carefully curated presentation of design, offering inspired vignettes by respected brands, design seminars, culinary demonstrations, and special appearances. From luxury furniture, accessories, lighting, and art to kitchen, bath, and building projects, the show offers thousands of products to source and shop—both from independent makers and established manufacturers.

Now in its 18th year, the Architectural Digest Design Show draws approximately 40,000 design aficionados to interact with incredible design displays from more than 400 brands and those brands will include powerful names like Covet House, Miele, Essential Home, DelightFULL, Campagna, Brabbu or Alexander Gyrai!

Unlike many other trade shows which focus on specific categories, the AD Show is a wide-reaching event. Visitors can find handmade ceramics or loom-woven rugs in the MADE Section, then can hop over to the Furnish Section to buy a dining table, and then they can even stop by the Refresh Section to pick out a dishwasher.
