📢 Fall Market Morning Keynote

AMERICAN BY DESIGN
What We Preserve, Reimagine & Build Next
11:00 AM
Silverscreen Theater, 2nd Floor Green
Pacific Design Center

What makes design distinctly American, and who gets to define it? Moderated by Wendy Goodman, Design Editor of New York Magazine and Curbed, this thought-provoking discussion brings together an extraordinary cross section of creative voices: Windsor Smith, Interior Designer and Founder of Windsor Smith Home; Stephen Earle, Principal of Stephen Earle Design; Hutton Wilkinson, President and Creative Director of Tony Duquette, Inc.; and Richard Manion, Principal of Richard Manion Architecture, Inc.

Moving from the singular object to the room, residence, building, and landscape, the conversation will explore the people, places, traditions, and cultural forces that have shaped America’s visual identity. Together, the panelists will consider what we preserve, what we reinterpret, and what we build next, revealing how the choices made by designers, architects, builders, collectors, makers, and storytellers reflect not only how we live, but who we are and who we are becoming.

A reception will immediately follow at Mimi London, Suite B-396.
