Fall 2026

Our Fall 2026 edition features new cultural and civic landmarks in Belgium, Toronto and Los Angeles. Plus, we explore the greening of Paris and the social ethos behind the game-changing residential work of Winnipeg firm 5468796.

Modern bathroom with stone-look walls, a walk-in glass shower, a floating vanity with a vessel sink, and a sculptural floor lamp.

BDNY is the place to be if you’re in the hospitality business. It presents the industry’s most respected design minds and brands. This year’s edition, under theme “Designed to Be Remembered,” looks at “the details, materials, and moments that make a space unforgettable.” While BDNY hosts a series of engaging talks — among them are the BDNY Power Players: Women Leaders in Hospitality Breakfast, presented in partnership with NEWH; and a fireside chat with Marcel Wanders — its bread and butter is bringing attendees up close and personal to the innovations on the show floor. With over 100 newcomers added to the exhibitor list, including AP Collection, coEco Panels and Natuzzi, the expo will be packed with the latest furniture, lighting, textile and bath collections. Below, we preview what we’re looking forward to at BDNY 2026.

Bathing Beauties

Just after launching their latest collections at Cersaie, 15 brands represented by Ceramics of Italy will take part in the Italian Pavilion. Specializing in ceramic, porcelain and bathroom furnishings, these are some of the most elegant resources for high-traffic hospitality interiors. Exhibitors include Decoratori Bassanesi (its Arca tile is shown above), Casalgrande Padana, and Italgraniti (top of article).

For more bathroom design ideas, also check out Duravit’s booth, where the complete Collection One series, designed by Studio F.A. Porsche, will be displayed, alongside the latest SensoWash smart toilet offerings. And finally, head to Tubes to complete your interior with colourful heated towel shelves.

Furniture Finds

Momentum presents its energetic hip hop-inspired Michael Ford collection paired with products from partner brand Autex Acoustics; the booth will also have a listening station.

Kellie Sirna, founder and principal of Studio 11 Design is debuting debuting La Sirena, a collection with StyleNations that includes the retro-inspired but very current — thanks to its wicker back weave — Levanto Sofa. Meanwhile, Juniper and HBF | HBF Textiles are teaming up on Co/Create, where lighting, furniture and textiles are conceived as one.

And Room & Board For Business marks two decades of “bringing residential warmth and contract-grade durability to hospitality spaces” by giving attendees a sneak peek at their latest collection, including the Leroy and Rory chairs, the Copenhagen Wet Bar and the Foshay bookcase — plus the softly curved Valora sofa, debuting this month.

Luminous Lighting

Just as many of these exhibitors feature exciting new collaborations, BDNY’s signature Designed Spaces celebrate the beautiful interiors that result when great minds come together.

They include “One Night Only” (rendering above) by IHG Hotels & Resorts x Crème and Jun Aizaki Architecture & Design, which captures the distinct personalities of Kimpton, Hotel Indigo and Ruby Hotels together in one immersive setting; The Gilded Dare by Ennismore with Avenue ID, a deep dive into Gilded Age glamour and a more-is-more approach to luxury; and Dine & Design Reimagined by RELISH and 3877, which transforms the conference lounge into a fully functional café featuring rich woods and sumptuous velvet.
