Housed inside a former church, the exhibition space was fully restored by bicoastal architect and designer Ken Fulk.

(In other CWG news, the gallery opens an exhibition of functional sculpture by Karl Lagerfeld on Friday.)

Alongside Ellie Cullman and Paulite Pitt, newly appointed Veranda editor in chief Steele Marcoux will be the design chair for the event, which takes place in a 10,000-square-foot Mediterranean-style mansion along the Intracoastal Waterway. Participating designers will be announced in early November.
Delta Faucet launched a concept design, in partnership with the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum and celebrity designer Bobby Berk.
