When we ﬁrst established Wave of the Future (then called New Breed) a decade ago, the idea was to put a spotlight on the up-and-comers of the industry—those whose futures seemed particularly bright at that stage of their careers. Over the years we had done a pretty good job, we thought, of covering the stalwart and namebrand designers and architects, but were on less certain footing when it came to seeking out and covering the stars of tomorrow. (I look back with amusement at the reaction of one industry heavyweight who warned me that there was no way that such a venture would succeed, especially if we chose young designers from large ﬁrms; those ﬁrms, she said, would never allow publicity to shine on the best young members of their team, for fear of “poaching” from rival designers. Ten years later, that doesn’t seem to have happened.) A few years into the New Breed tradition, we started HD Boutique, our Miami Beach tradeshow, and decided to link the two. We changed the name to Wave of the Future—more ﬁtting to the sunny shores of Miami (and less like a cattle drive) and invited the honorees to the show as our guests; the panel discussion they participate in is always a highlight. As this year is an anniversary, we’re opening Photo by Clodagh the doors to all of the past Wavers to be our guests at the show. We’re pleased that we’ve been pretty prescient in our choices: Cass Calder Smith, India Mahdavi, Dodd Mitchell, Martin Vahtra, Therese Virserius, Thomas Schoos, and Lionel Ohayon are just a handful of those who have gone on to even more distinguished careers than when we ﬁrst introduced them. Restaurants by Stephen Francis Jones and Andrew Alford are featured in this issue. (Some, alas, have slipped through our ﬁngers: Kendyl Lawson and Gregory Tubeck, where art thou?) We hope you’ll join us for this celebration. It promises to be an astonishing collection of talent, including those selected for 2011, whom you’ll meet in next month’s issue.
