Last week, I attended the annual Architectural Digest Design and DIFFA Dining by Design shows at Piers 92 & 94 in NYC. One of my favorite days of the year, the 2017 show was every bit as spectacular as in previous years. There were more than 400 luxury brands from across the world all gathered in one place, and the combined effect was absolutely thrilling!

I really enjoyed exploring all the latest trends, but if I had to boil the whole show down to one single element, it would be texture. Unexpected textures were everywhere from the rugs and furniture to the decor and art and even the wall coverings. It was really exciting to see how all the artists and artisans interpreted this and all the trends.

Here are a few of my favorite displays, but for the full set, please go check out my Flickr album! And be warned; I went a little crazy over the chairs this year, and only partly because my feet hurt. Enjoy!
