Foundations: Timeless Design That Feels Personal

Design Expert Nate Berkus at the COOP

Overview

Spend an evening with Nate Berkus, one of the world’s most influential interior designers, known for his refined yet deeply livable approach

His latest book, Foundations: Timeless Design That Feels Personal, distills more than three decades of experience into a thoughtful, room-by-room guide to creating spaces with meaning. It is a reflection on what endures—how to design with intention, layer with confidence, and build rooms that tell your story.

In conversation with Marc Adelman, Nate will explore his Four Tenets of Good Design and share what truly makes a home feel timeless rather than trend-driven, collected rather than decorated, and unmistakably your own.

Come for the inspiration. Leave with clarity—and ideas you’ll be ready to bring to life the moment in your own home.
