Meet the Designers ✨

We’re excited to introduce Miguel Newberg and Whitney Chandler—two talented designers bringing their unique perspectives together for a collaborative vignette at Furnish 2026.

Miguel is known for her polished, transitional style—layering classic patterns with fresh, livable elegance—while Whitney’s work is rooted in thoughtful curation, functionality, and a refined sense of balance. Together, their shared passion for intentional, client-centered design promises a space that feels both timeless and personal.

We can’t wait to see how their styles come together at Furnish 2026. We’re just 9 days away—get your tickets today!
