All the Designers Showing at Kips Bay Palm Beach
Over the past 45 years, the Kips Bay Designer Show House has proved a powerful tool for designers in New York. Many have launched or boosted their careers after successful runs at the Manhattan showcase, where their thoughtfully outfitted rooms are on display for slews of potential clients, editors, and fellow designers who visit for inspiration and to support the Kips Bay Boys and Girls Club. This year, Florida-based design lovers—and those who head south for the winter—were thrilled to hear the news of a Palm Beach iteration of the show house, carrying the tradition of Kips Bay to the resort set and providing a platform for designers in the Sunshine State and beyond. Today, the show house released its list of participating designers, an impressive roster of talent whose work will be on display at the 1920s Villa Belmonte from November 25 to December 19.
"The caliber of this group is truly remarkable—each designer has such an impressive portfolio of work and unique design point of view," says honorary chair Bunny Williams. "We are looking forward to how these industry leaders dial up the design of each space with beautiful trends, new ideas, and clever solutions." Without further ado, the 2017 lineup:
