The AD Apartment by Sasha Bikoff

That time of year has finally arrived. From March 21st to 24th, vendors and designers are heading to NYC for the Architectural Digest Design Show (ADDS). The inspiring event takes place at Piers 92 & 94 – 55^th Street at 12^th Avenue. And one of the most incredible things to see is the AD Apartment. Every year, this is a must-see installation at the annual ADDS, and this year is no exception!

The 2019 AD Apartment was designed by interior designer, Sasha Bikoff, who reimagined the space in her signature whimsical world. She wanted to create a space that embodied the spirit of an ‘uptown girl living in a downtown world’.

About the AD Show

Unlike many other trade shows which focus on specific categories, ADDS is wide-reaching: You can find more than 160 artists and designers – from local and emerging artisans to international studios who will show original art, fine furniture, sculpture, textiles, and lighting – in the MADE section. In the FURNISHING area you can find the finest home-furniture brands, designers and dealers from the world. Besides that, you can always REFRESH to pick out a dishwasher and discover the largest collections of kitchens, bath, luxury appliances and premium building from more than 100 companies.

In addition, at Pier 92 you can find DIFFA’s Dining by Design. At this beautiful fundraising, event creativity is showcased through swathed tablescapes to benefit HIV/AIDS programs.

Don’t forget to visit Love Happens at our publisher KOKET’s booth, # 501. And fall in love with all of the beautiful details in their luxury furniture collection!
