The Ambassador Edit: WNWN is Coming Up “Next”!
With summer winding down, it can only mean one thing… What’s New, What’s Next is right around the corner!
On September 14th (the 16 floors of) The New York Design Center will celebrate the very best in design! Returning to its original one-day, in person format, WNWN will offer dozens of programs from panel discussion, interviews, reception, book signings and more! And this year’s line up is looking like the best one yet!
