“Though nameless in its earliest sketches, the Original Curve Sofa by Vladimir Kagan laid the groundwork for the legendary Serpentine and Freeform sofas. Now, on the Serpentine’s 75th anniversary, Holly Hunt is bringing back the Original Curve Sofa. Beyond revival, it’s a salute to a form that has transcended decades of modern living.” Elaine Santos is a New York–based designer with a degree in interior design from Parsons School of Design. After serving as lead designer for two prestigious firms, she founded her own practice, Elaine Santos Design. She is focused on warmth, expressiveness, and the use of natural materials and unique textiles to create cohesive and harmonious designs. elainesantos.com “A finish that is modern and enduring—Dorn- bracht’s new Brushed Dark Brass lends depth with quiet elegance.” Through Ferguson. “Undyed fibers, organic forms, and a palette rooted in the earth—sustainability woven in. We love the Biophilic collection by Tai Ping for our Passive House projects.” “As medium-brown wood floors reclaim their place in inte- riors, West|Wood’s Vermont Fumed White Oak delivers timeless appeal.” “Michelle Gerson’s Game On collection for Artistic Tile proves the power of repetition—ver- satile, graphic, and designed to make an impact.” “Smeg brings its matte- white finish to select large appliances—a look we love for the way it seam- lessly blends with our matte walls and millwork.” “Inspired by the city that never sleeps, the new NY collection by Edward Fields is destined for our next New York City project— the patterns intrigue, and the textures strike the perfect balance.” “This artis- anal Pedras Brasileiras bar tray from Tania Bulhões strikes the perfect bal- ance of playful and impactful— it’s the design element that will make you smile.” “As the next evolution of Patricia Urquiola’s iconic 2005 sofa, Tufty-Time 20, from B&B Italia, features redesigned volumes, softer padding, a modified seat height for greater comfort, and a new curved module that expands its versatility.” SANTOS “Proof that thinner can be stronger: Poggenpohl’s +SEGMENTO has refined countertops that balance precision with presence.” Elaine Shop Talk

It showcases how a professional-grade appliance can also be a beautiful piece of art.” “The Fantini Rubinetti ART, in sleek polished chrome, offers an immersive shower experience. The two minimalist showerheads- in-one evokes a rainstorm in an exotic jungle. I love to design with nature in mind, and this fixture brings those elements of style into my designs.” “I love shopping at BauTeam German Kitchens for their incredible service and unique luxury kitchen elements. The Sisal Oak Choco veneer, from the Struttura Collection, has incredible organic color and texture. The texture infuses an organic elegance, creating an interplay of light and shadow for an immersive sensory experience.” “Drummonds’s Medway Freestanding Shower embodies classic British design with a luxurious twist. We love the stunning design and its nine finish variations, especially the Verde Guatemala marble tray. It brings a sense of freedom and opulence to the bathroom.” “I am in love with Dekton Nebu, through Cosentino. Its rough texture and natural tonal mocha hues evoke the serene sands of Balearic Island beaches. It seamlessly bridges indoor and outdoor spaces, creating a fluid, natural aesthetic that brings the outside in.” “With its sleek black finish, the Dacor wine dispenser redefines wine preservation and dispensing with its intuitive design. It features dual temperature zones for red and white wine, and glass touch controls, all within a very easy-to-use panel. It’s a testament to refined convenience.” “Tania Bulhões is a true gem, offering perfect accessories for the home. I especially love their home spray collections; our favorite, Casa Das Orchideas, stands out with its soft perfume and elegant presentation, making it the perfect gift for friends and clients.” “This colorful porcelain field tile in Oxo Verdigris, from Artistic Tile, is a fabulous choice. It’s perfect for designing any space by blending color and nature. The rich green hues evoke the ocean waters and corals of Sardinia. It’s suitable for both interior and exterior use.” ”Vetiver I is a striking rug from Tai Ping’s Biophilic collection, made from New Zealand wool and silk. It offers a blend of chic softness and organic design and is suitable for both walls and flooring.” ANGARD “B&B Italia’s Tramae outdoor ottoman comes in a captivat- ing night-blue color bringing a touch of playful sophistica- tion to any outdoor space. It boasts an interlacing texture that’s visually stunning and stain-and-water-resistant. It’s the perfect blend of durability and design, transforming your patio into a haven of comfort and style.” Arlene Shop Talk

Source Material B&B Italia unveils Tufty-Time 20 in celebration of the iconic sofa’s 20th anniversary. The sofa, originally designed by Patricia Ur- quiola in 2005, has redefined the concepts of comfort and modularity, merging the spirit of Chesterfield and capitonné traditions with a modern, relaxed lifestyle, while continuing to be one of the brand’s greatest successes. The Grand Union double vanity cabinet, by Nicola Harding for Drummonds, takes its name from the historic waterway that links London to Central England. The handmade cabinets are combined with fine Italian mar- ble, and paint can be specified for both the interior and exterior. Brass handles are available in nine finishes. Recognizing the importance of creating luxurious spaces that are accessible to everyone, True Residential unveils the Low-Profile Collection—a range of ADA-compliant, UL-rated indoor/outdoor undercounter Beverage Centers, Refrigerators, Clear Ice Machines, and Wine Cabinets. The appliances are available in a full range colors, including the 2025 Color of the Year, Olive.
Source Material Fisher & Paykel unveils its newly reimagined New York Experience Center. The expanded 6,400-square-foot space is designed by the Fisher & Paykel Global Design Team in collaboration with the award-winning firm Schiller Projects, led by Founder and Principal Aaron Schiller. Defined by curated spaces that blend the brand’s values and New Zealand heritage–with a nod to New York’s iconic landmarks–the new home reflects Fisher & Paykel’s ongoing evolution. With 98 percent of the floor’s cooking space dedicated to the brand’s expanded induc- tion portfolio, the center reflects the growing demand for smart, sustainable solutions across large urban cities like New York. Lilum 50 is a limited edition of 50 pieces to celebrate Maxalto’s 50th anniversary. The fine linen upholstery is transformed into an artist’s canvas for Dutch painter Patrick van Riemsdijk, whose ele- gant brushstrokes contrast with the rounded shape. The result is a successful synthesis of languages and styles.
Vladimir Kagan Design Group reintroduces three archival pieces from the Barrel series. Designed after the original Barrel Chair (1947)—inspired by the zeppelins Kagan saw during his childhood in Frankfurt, Germany—these reintroductions blend sculptural, organic forms with inviting comfort. The series includes the Barrel Chaise with Footstool, Barrel Pull-Up Chair, and Barrel Unicorn Chair. Through Holly Hunt.

A Zen- like corner of the dining room in a Sonoma home designed by Good Ave Design Studio. H ere at Design NYC, we report on style. We choose beautiful and interesting rooms and cleverly designed furnishings by talented interior designers and brands that are changing the way we live, and we present them to you, the reader, to inspire and delight. Our homes, after all, are our castles. We are not and should not be defined as humans by the places that we live, but there is no denying that it is our instinct to surround ourselves with beauty in our living spaces. Whether that takes the form of streamlined, clean edges in modern spaces or rooms filled with overstuffed chairs, embroidery, and saturated color, our personal choices in our rooms make a difference in our lives. Hopefully, they impart a sense of calm and comfort. At their most successful, our interiors can give us a feeling of security and offer a way to decompress after long days. For this issue’s cover, we chose a beautiful room in an Irish home designed by Suzie Mc Adam. It’s cozy and warm, but also intriguing, with its monochromatic palette of teal blue. The eye is fooled. Is it traditional or is it modern? This tension makes the ornate, historic details that much more interesting—and pleasing. As the cold weather approaches, I love the idea of curling up in that armchair with a volume of Irish poetry and a cup of tea, or a dram of something warmer. As always, we hope our pages inspire you to create some cozy corners and creative details in your own rooms. True style is in the details, and those details are intensely personal, and wonderful to behold.
