3 Late Summer Events for the Design Lover

The roots of local interior designer Nadia Watts’ debut fabric collection can be traced back more than a century: Her great-great-grandfather Louis Comfort Tiffany (yes, of that Tiffany family) created stained-glass windows, vases, and lamps for his iconic design house. Watts’ new collaboration with Kravet pays homage to the vibrant hues—think chartreuse, teal, and fuchsia—found in Tiffany’s collectible pieces. Marrying vibrant colors with graphic patterns and tactile fabrics, Watts’ textiles prove that talent runs in the family. Launches Summer 2022, kravet.com
