Fall Market 2026

Opposites Attract

A Keynote Conversation with Nellie Howard & DuVäl Reynolds

Something new is coming to Fall Market at the Washington Design Center.

The WDC Fall Market 2026 keynote is confirmed — and it’s a conversation worth building your day around.

Opposites Attract: A Keynote Conversation with Nellie Howard & DuVäl Reynolds, presented by the AmericanEye Showroom.

Nellie Howard of Mr. & Mrs. Howard and DuVäl Reynolds of House of DuVäl — two of Sherrill Furniture Brands’ designers with two distinct points of view — take the stage to explore what happens when contrasting perspectives collide. Through a special design challenge, each will reinterpret a piece from the other’s collection: a rare look at how opposing instincts shape ideas, challenge convention, and land somewhere neither would have reached alone.

The keynote begins at 10am, with an in-showroom event to follow — just the start of a full day at Market.
