Gathering industry experts, editors, innovators and design talent, What's New What's Next at NYDC is like the first day back to school every fall. I am thrilled to be participating in the New York Design Center event again this year, and feel so lucky to be moderating a panel with some of my favorite people whose careers I have watched skyrocket. Join me this Thursday at 5:30pm at the Niermann Weeks Showroom at NYDC for a panel discussion on the art of custom furniture.  I will engage today's top interior talent in a dialog on custom design, joined by Lee Cavanaugh of Cullman & Kravis, Nick Olsen, Harry Heissmann, Tilton Fenwick and Young Huh. The designers will discuss their experience designing and creating bespoke furniture and lighting for their interiors projects and the process of working with the Niermann Weeks team to design a piece they envisioned. I look forward to seeing you in the audience, and be sure to stay afterwards to get to know this amazing group of creative inspirations.
