Nearly a dozen interior designers have been singled out for Frederic magazine’s It List Awards, which highlight up-and-coming designers.
This year’s honorees are Claes Dalén, Danielette Dennis, Samantha Feuer of Norris Studio, Todd Hellmuth, Frances Jackson, Michael Joerres, Brian Jones, Brooke Michie, Georgie Stogdon, Alex Yanke of Westbourne Studio, and Bob van Zonneveld.
The It List Class of 2026 will be recognized in Volume XXII of Frederic magazine, which will be on newsstands in November. Each award recipient will receive a $10,000 stipend from The Frederic Fund, established to support gifted designers early in their careers.
The designers will also be celebrated at the annual It List Awards gala on Wednesday, October 7, at Nine Orchard in New York City. Interior designer Bunny Williams will serve as the emcee for the night. The evening’s honorees will each be presented with the It List award, a bronze oak leaf designed by sculptor Stephen Antonson, which symbolizes the beauty of growth and strength.
“I’m so proud that in just a few short years, the It List issue and awards gala have become an industry pillar—a much-anticipated showcase of emerging talent that even the most established designers look forward to,” said Editor-in-Chief Dara Caponigro. “It has been so gratifying to watch the careers of our It List designers take off after our endorsement; that impact is exactly why we do this. We are so honored that Bunny Williams will join us as emcee; no one understands the importance of mentoring the next generation better than she does.”
Frederic is a quarterly publication and the design and lifestyle brand of Schumacher.
