The four-day New York Tabletop Show (Oct. 15 – 18) at Forty-One Madison opens tomorrow to buyers and retailers—and on Thursday, October 17, it welcomes interior designers to preview new collections.

For Interior Designer Day, LUXE Interiors + Design magazine has created the backdrop for the show—table settings designed by Scott Sanders themed “The American Home” will line the lobby.

“Visitors will feel as if they’re stepping into a home with first stop the foyer, then the dining room, with breakfast room next, and finally the patio,” said Sanders, whose signature “fresh American style” will showcase numerous brands that are housed in the building.
