that’s a (design) wrap! Last issue of the year, folks! And in case you forgot, 2022 marked Interior Design’s 90-year milestone of leadership and operation…wowza! Our march to get here seemed truly inexorable, though. I mean, everything and the proverbial kitchen sink was thrown at us: a pandemic, no paper to print on, inflation, and sundry whatnots, and yet here we are intrepidly—and passionately—soldering on! Jesting over and done with, 2022 was, truth be told, a challenging beast for all! I’m not, however, assigning any negative value to this statement, nor to the trials and tribulations that resulted. Interior Design and Sandow Design Group are always working on expanding and improving our media, tools, and productivity so we can help you, our design friends and clients, no matter what. That this also happens to be a stringent requirement of our new age is, actually, welcome news…and I bet the house you know exactly what I mean and feel the same. Just as we are adapting and moving forward, so is our industry. From humming studios to factory floors, hurdles are overcome and new achievements recorded every ticking minute. And supreme talents keep on rising to the top! Take a gander at this issue and see for yourself. We break a lance for a new crop of hotshots designing spas, shops, showrooms, and all points in between. Then linger on our yearly photo essay’s global tour mingling architecture, art, design, and fashion. Yep, design of all kinds keeps on flourishing, and the peaks are soaring higher and higher. And if you thought that was a wrap—not yet! There’s one more morsel. We have all worked extraordinarily hard to realize our dreams in 2022, and now it’s time to celebrate (safely!) those successes, big and small. Our Hall of Fame soiree (#38) is back in full splendor for exactly that reason…and also because I can’t wait a minute longer to see you all (expect hugs aplenty)! Plus, inserted in this very issue is the Hall of Fame supplement honoring the extraordinary achievement of visionaries who, through design, are changing our community and the world. Immediately after the gala, one day later, our Best of Year Awards—a wondrous display of the best projects and products anywhere—continues our end-of-year bash. But most importantly, it will propel you to the new year chock-full of ideas and inspiration. And I, for one, can’t wait to see what’s in store! xoxo,
