BDNY Underway Now in NYC

New York, NY, November 9, 2026—BDNY is underway now in New York City at the Javits Center. 

The annual Best of BDNY Product Design Competition announced its winners yesterday.

Flooring winner: Blooming Sparsi by Giovanni Barbieri.

Flooring finalist: Nautra by TileBar x Kravet.

The competition recognizes innovation across hospitality design categories. 

In addition, Roppe makes its BDNY debut. Its featured product is the PixelArt Minimalist Collection, a digitally printed rubber flooring product designed to resemble carpet tile.

This is an interesting move by Roppe to expand its presence in the hospitality market. 

At the event, Shaw Contract Hospitality introduced The Nightingale, a custom rug and broadloom collection featuring 27 patterns. The collection is inspired by three fictional hotel guests: The Forager, The Storyteller and The Antiquarian.

On a broader note, residential influence in hospitality interiors continues with greater emphasis on texture and a continued interest in customization.
