House Beautiful kicked off the summer by celebrating the Next Wave classes of 2023 and 2024. This group of the design industry's most promising rising stars joins a 25-year legacy that's well worth celebrating. These designers are blazing trails with their visionary styles from coast to coast (and beyond), so this gathering provided a fabulous opportunity to toast their accomplishments.

The fun-filled day began with a breakfast hosted by Benjamin Moore at the Warren Street Hotel, featuring personalized “brunch brushes” and portraits by Deanna First. The legendary Kravet Inc. then welcomed the honorees into its New York studio, providing a behind-the-scenes tour through the textiles. The day culminated in a celebratory party hosted by the New York Design Center in The Gallery at 200 Lex. Cocktails and hors d'oeuvres flowed among former Next Wavers, House Beautiful's partners and friends, and other members of the New York design community—all gathered to raise their glasses to these talented designers and their bright futures ahead.
