The 10th Annual RNDD Fall Gallery Walk brought art and design together across 18 River North showrooms, with designer-curated vignettes transforming spaces throughout the District for opening night.
As part of this year’s celebration, the RNDD Fall Gallery Walk 2026 Best Vignette and Fan Favorite Contest, presented by Kallista and Studio41, recognized two standout installations—one selected by our panel of judges and one chosen by the public.
And the winners are…
Best Vignette: Tom Stringer Design Partners at Cosentino
Featuring artists Nick Mele and Soo Burnell of Sundays Art Advisory
Congratulations to Tom Stringer Design Partners at Cosentino, winner of the 2026 Best Vignette!
Judges Amanda Bates and Alex Bednarz of Next Luxury visited each of this year’s Gallery Walk vignettes before selecting Tom Stringer Design Partners as their winning design.
Equal parts gallery and playground, the vignette captured the sun-soaked ease and glamour of a Slim Aarons-inspired world—a setting where art wasn’t simply meant to be observed, but lived with.
Lighthearted, social and just a little mischievous, the space invited guests to settle in, sip a cocktail and even play a game of ping pong, bringing together art and design in a way that felt effortlessly livable.
As the Best Vignette winner, Tom Stringer Design Partners will receive a Juxtapose Kitchen Faucet from Kallista.
Fan Favorite: Jasmin Reese Interiors at Fireclay Tile
Featuring artist BOJITT
The public had a chance to weigh in, too! Following opening night, we invited the RNDD community to vote on Instagram for the vignette they loved most.
After the votes were counted, Jasmin Reese Interiors at Fireclay Tile was named the 2026 Fan Favorite for Celestial Room — A Horoscope Immersion Installation.
Created by Fireclay Tile, Jasmin Reese Interiors and artist BOJITT, Celestial Room transformed astrology into an intimate sensory experience incorporating color, sound and even a signature drink.
Throughout the installation, the room shifted every 15 minutes to reflect different zodiac expressions, with BOJITT’s emotionally rich use of color helping shape the evolving environment. Before leaving, guests were invited to contribute to a collective artwork—adding their own visual imprint to the experience.
As the Fan Favorite winner, Jasmin Reese Interiors will receive a spa day at the Kohler Chicago Spa courtesy of Kallista and Studio41.
