What: The Importance of the Decorative Arts and Craft in Interior Design: A Panel Discussion and Afternoon Wine
Where: Roche Bobois
Books: Oliver Furth’s OP! Optimistic Interiors (Rizzoli); Emily Summers’ Distinctly Modern Interiors (Rizzoli)
Panel: Moderator Bebe Howorth, interiors director, Elle Decor, NYC; designer, decorative arts expert, and LACMA museum consultant Oliver Furth (Elle Decor A-List, AD100), L.A.; American painter Tyler Hays, founder of BDDW, known for highly crafted American-made furniture and objects, NYC, L.A.; Nicolas Pickaerts, co-founder of ABASK, an e-commerce environment offering some of the world’s most elevated makers, in from London; designer Emily Summers, collaborator with architects, artists, and craftsmen, and former exhibitions director for Dallas Museum of Art.
Takeaway: Oliver Furth: “Know the rules and when to break them … Rooms tell us what they want to be … What makes an object collectible: fine workmanship and something that makes you feel a tingling in your soul … We live in a wonderful moment for design and art and architecture. Be curious.”
Emily Summers: “I find inspiration in the rare, the talented, the exceptional, either the old — Wiener Werkstätte, for example — or the new, like Tyler Hays, whom I began working with 25 years ago.”
Tyler Hays: “The history of its maker is embedded in an object.”
Nicolas Pickaerts: “ABASK has 5,000 items on its platform, many by artisans whose traditions extend back five generations.”

What: Iconic Design, Cocktails, and Book Signing with Mark D. Sikes in Conversation with Jan Showers
Where: Jan Showers showroom
Book: Mark D. Sikes’ Forever Beautiful (Rizzoli)
Highlights: These two could have a morning talk show in their future. Who doesn’t want to see the glamorous Showers in emerald-green velvet Prada platforms and a soigné dress chat up dashing Sikes, whom I often refer to as #blueandwhiteboy. Showers can simply raise an eyebrow without saying a word, and you know she is endlessly intrigued by a vignette.
Takeaway: Sikes created his newest book during the pandemic lockdown, when he was spending a lot of time in his outdoor living spaces. His team decided to film an inspiring and enlightening behind-the-scenes documentary of his working style, which Sikes screened that afternoon. One key bit of advice: “Art is often a completer. Rooms are more special and unique when there is a friction with a carefully chosen work of art.”
