FEBRUARY2026

Join Hudson Valley Lighting Group for a dynamic lunchtime CEU in which we take a closer look at how natural materials shape lighting design, blending aesthetics, craftsmanship, and sustainability.

Participants will learn to identify five key material groups, understand their sourcing and preparation, and discover their ecological qualities, including renewability and biodegradability. Real-world examples will demonstrate how these materials enhance both the form and atmosphere of lighting while supporting responsible design choices.

This 1 credit CEU will be presented by Jorganna Trachtenberg and Mary del Cueto/Reanna Rieman.

Enjoy an afternoon of inspiration, education, and networking over a light lunch provided for all design attendees.

Join IDS for an intimate evening with Adriana Hoyos—founder, designer, and the creative force behind Adriana Hoyos Furnishings.

This is not a sales pitch: it’s a conversation.

In dialogue with IDS, Adriana will unpack how culture, memory, and material become form—how design is shaped by where you’ve been, what you’ve touched, and what you refuse to compromise.

She’ll introduce Origen, her newest collection, and speak candidly about:

• The evolution of her design language over 30 years
• The role of materiality and why material choice is a more than just an aesthetic
• The difference between trend-chasing and timeless work with warmth
• What craftsmanship actually costs—and why it’s worth it

If you care about furniture that marries luxury with legacy and attention—this night is for you.

Join us for a special Wine & Design event featuring Anne Stevenson, Vice President of Sales for James Dunlop Textiles. Anne will be introducing Fable, James Dunlop’s new Spring collection—a richly layered range that celebrates storytelling through pattern, color, and material.

Fable draws inspiration from mid-century modern design, global traditions, and the idea of home as a place where stories are gathered and passed on. The collection blends expressive prints, refined natural sheers, and tactile upholsteries to create interiors that feel personal, grounded, and alive with meaning.

Highlights include the hero print Komodo Dragon, a dreamlike, Asian-influenced design that drifts between clouds and stone, offering a fresh interpretation of a classic motif. It is paired with two natural-fiber draperies:

• Kanji, a pure linen sheer in a range of decorative shades
• Handblock, a cotton-linen blend with abstract, hand-drawn strokes in subtle neutral tones

Completing the collection are two inviting upholsteries—Snugly and Sabato—crafted with bouclé and chenille yarns. These textiles meet James Dunlop’s Eco Standard and feature built-in FibreGuard stain resistance, making them as practical as they are beautiful.

As you explore the collection, enjoy New Zealand wines and artisanal cheeses in a relaxed, drop-in format designed for busy designers. Come for a quick visit or stay awhile—this is your chance to see, touch, and experience the latest from James Dunlop while connecting with fellow creatives.



Come sip, savor, and discover the stories textiles can tell.
