A classic silhouette with a fresh perspective.

The Hoyt Chair by Wesley Hall Furniture, shown in Kelmar, brings tailored craftsmanship and inviting character to the room. Its gently curved form, refined upholstery, and thoughtfully proportioned frame create a versatile accent that feels polished without being overly formal.

The right fabric can completely transform a classic silhouette, and Kelmar gives the Hoyt Chair a distinctive look with plenty of personality. Discover Wesley Hall’s thoughtfully crafted seating at AmericanEye at The Washington Design Center, where designers can explore furnishings and upholstery options to bring their vision to life.

Opposites attract — and this fall, we're putting it to the test.

For WDC Fall Market, Sherrill Furniture Brands and AmericanEye are bringing together two designers with wildly different sensibilities: Nellie Howard Ossi of Mr. & Mrs. Howard and DuVäl Reynolds of House of DuVäl. The challenge? Each will reinterpret a piece from the other's collection — a rare, unscripted look at how opposing points of view push past convention.

Moderated by Melissa Sanabria of Sanabria & Co., the conversation is followed immediately by lunch in the AmericanEye at The Washington Design Center Showroom (Suite 300) with Nellie and DuVäl — keep the conversation going over a bite.

📍 Concourse Level | October 1
10AM-11AM - Keynote
11AM - 1PM - Luncheon
