An only-in-New-York evening at Katz’s Delicatessen.

On the eve of What’s New, What’s Next, the Design Leadership Network and the New York Design Center (New York Design Center) brought members and partners together for a memorable dinner at one of the city’s most beloved institutions. Against the unmistakable backdrop of Katz’s, guests gathered over pastrami sandwiches, classic New York fare, and lively conversation to celebrate the people and relationships that make this community so special.

The iconic setting brought a distinctly New York spirit to the evening—energetic, unexpected, and full of character. It was the perfect way to kick off What’s New, What’s Next and celebrate the New York Design Center during its centennial year.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and made the night one to remember. We loved gathering with our community in a place that could only be New York.

This summer, the DLN community gathered in Chicago for two days of rare access, thoughtful conversation, and a closer look at the city’s design culture.

Across the city and North Shore, members and partners stepped inside private homes, studios, architecture and landscape practices, and some of Chicago’s storied institutions. From project tours with Jennie Bishop (Bishop Studio), Celeste Robbins (Robbins Architecture + Interiors), Andrea Goldman (ANDREA GOLDMAN), and Frank Mariani (Mariani Landscape) to visits with Hoerr Schaudt (Hoerr Schaudt), Cindy Simes (Cindy Mrozek Simes), Tom Stringer (Tom Stringer Design Partners), and James Thomas (James Thomas), each stop offered a different perspective on the people and ideas shaping design in Chicago today.

Along the way, we gathered for lunch in Shea Soucie’s (Soucie Horner Design Collective) home, toured the Casino Club and Racquet Club, and continued the conversation over breakfasts, lunches, and cocktails hosted at different moments throughout the gathering by Vaughan (Vaughan Designs), de Gournay (de Gournay), Kravet (Kravet), Waterworks (Waterworks), Stark (STARK), and ABC Stone (ABC Worldwide Stone).

Our Community Gatherings are built around a simple idea: experiencing a city through the people who know it best. Chicago reminded us just how much there is to discover when our community opens its doors to one another.

Thank you to everyone who welcomed us inside, shared their work, and made these two days possible.

Three days. One great city. One extraordinary community.

This November, the DLN community comes together in Los Angeles to reconnect, exchange ideas, meet new collaborators, and spend meaningful time with the colleagues and changemakers shaping our industry.

From expert masterclasses and keynotes to intimate tours of inspiring projects, private collections, artist and designer studios, and architectural landmarks, the Summit takes us beyond the red carpet and behind the gates.

The experiences are remarkable—but it’s the conversations, relationships, and shared sense of purpose that make these three days matter.

One conversation can change your practice. Secure your spot today.

Today, we’re Art Basel, where DLN partner Chubb () once again invited us to connect a DLN member design team to create its VIP Collector’s Lounge—this year entrusted to Monica Santayana and Ronald Alvarez of Moniomi Design ().

Honoring a tradition that began with DLN member Noz Nozawa two years ago and continued with Sasha Bikoff last year, Moniomi reimagined the lounge through their signature bold aesthetic. Monica and Ronald envisioned a sultry, botanical environment drawn from Florida’s fauna, Everglades sunsets, and the filtered glow of light through tropical canopies. The result is an inviting, immersive space that celebrates Miami on its own terms while framing the art in a world uniquely theirs.

Thank you to Monica, Ronald, and Chubb for continuing this vibrant DLN tradition at Art Basel—and for bringing such imagination and craft to this year’s collector experience.

The design world has lost a singular voice with the passing of Robert A.M. Stern—architect, historian, urbanist, and, for many of us, an essential interpreter of American architecture. His work, distinguished by intellectual rigor and a rare attentiveness to place, reshaped skylines and renewed confidence in the continuing life of classicism and contextually sensitive urbanism.

A recipient of the Design Leadership Award, Stern was a steadfast advocate for beauty, civility, and the long arc of architectural tradition. His influence runs through the DLN, through the generations of practitioners he mentored and inspired, and through the built environments that carry his unmistakable clarity, discipline, and sense of humanity.

We honor his legacy with admiration and gratitude.

Amid the grandeur of Palacio de Liria, architect Carlos Martínez de Albornoz (.arquitecto), whose recently completed Royal Collections Gallery was a standout visit for DLN members this Summit, joined prizewinning critic Paul Goldberger () for a conversation on the power of architecture as both art and language.

Their exchange explored the craft, continuity, and cultural resonance of architecture—ideas that connect the handmade to the monumental, the personal to the urban.
