Over 700 companies are getting ready to descend upon the Javits Center for BDNY, the Boutique Design New York show taking place in New York on November 8 and 9. This year, the hospitality-inflected show encompasses the theme, “Designed to Be Remembered.” In other words, BDNY 2026 will reflect on the future of hospitality and the ways it creates meaningful experiences across cuisine, culture, wellness, and architecture. Participating speakers include Marcel Wanders and Kai-Uwe Bergmann from BIG.
The show looks to be particularly immersive this year. A series of designed spaces will pepper the show floor. In booth 673, Relish, a dine and design cafe, reimagines the conference lounge as an intimate supper club. Architect //3877 will lead the booth design. Elsewhere, The Gilded Dare (in booth 1873) captures Avenue Interior Design’s vision for a Manhattan penthouse. Further down in booth 3119, Preen will stage The Unkindness of Ravens, which posits hospitality as an act of nature.
