The art of the smart toilet. Beyond the science and engineering. Beyond the personalized bidet settings and streaming audio. Beyond the comfort and cleanliness. There is, simply, the pure artistry of the Numi® 2.0 smart toilet.

A MORE SUSTAINABLE INTERIOR DESIGN As part of the SANDOW carbon impact initiative, all publications, including INTERIOR DESIGN and METROPOLIS, are now printed using soy-based inks, which are biobased and derived from renewable sources. This continues Sandow Design Group’s ongoing efforts to address the environmental impact of its operations and media platforms. Earlier this year, we announced a yearlong partnership with Keilhauer to offset all estimated carbon emissions for the printing and distribution of every print copy of INTERIOR DESIGN in 2024 with verified carbon credits, including the one you hold in your hands.

e d i t o r ’s welcome
yes!
it’s…giants of design
Yes, I am as guilty as the next Brooklyn gurl when trying to hog the universe for myself! This one time, however, I’ll make a grievously suffered exception, because I want you to focus instead on this jewel of a Giant issue…ASAP! Mind you, no rushing glances and peeks; take all the time you need and linger on each page, enjoying it for every tick of the clock. Because, behind all the accurately recorded stories, masterfully reproduced enviros, and exhaustively inspected data that our yearly Interior Design Giants report requires—and that we diligently deliver— there’s actually a roaring party going on!! Yes, after the literal blood, sweat, and tears of the last five long years, the Giants are again growing, beyond the earlier mighty peaks, taller in many ways than the 2019 pre-COVID records. There is no better way than this to start Spring…hooray! And yes, as we have been saying for the past 4+ decades, what’s good for the Giants is good for design—and for our entire industry. As proof, and also to get you up to speed, here are a few giant morsels on what lies ahead. CannonDesign artistically linked spaces for meeting, solo work, and collaboration with graphics and murals at the office of digital juggernaut LinkedIn (love the 40-foot tubular sculpture tree!). Skidmore, Owings & Merrill aptly went green—think hanging plantings, verdant walls, and sunken gardens—at the airport known as “the garden city” in Bangalore, India. Positivity—airy, open, and joyful—was the theme for The Morrow Hotel, skillfully designed by INC Architecture & Design and Rottet Studio. And every project, everywhere—from the Kentucky racetrack at Churchill Downs to the latest renovation phase at the Mart in Chicago—is always about making spaces more enriching for the folks that inhabit them. And isn’t that what design is all about? I say yes! Thanks to all the Giants in every segment of the market for your continued giant design contribution and influence to our world! A resounding, heartfelt, and thankful yes!
