Nomad Design Fair Debuts in US at Robert Wilson's Watermill Center

From June 25 to 28, 2026, The Watermill Center in the Hamptons held the first American Nomad design fair. Founded by Robert Wilson in 1992, the center featured 32 exhibitions that interacted with its unique architecture. The fair showcased site-specific works, like textile collages by Rachel Hayes, commissioned by Giorgio Armani, and included galleries such as Le Lab from Cairo, Object & Thing, Kalei NYC, Maison Gerard, and Spaceless Gallery. Highlights were a room of Wilson's personal collection, curated by Noah Khoshbin, and Dominique Nabokov's photography, curated by Sophie Dries. Corporate partners Sisley Paris and Giorgio Armani featured installations by Sydney Albertini, Ariel Dearie, and Jonathan Kline. A segment called 'Rooted Movements' presented Emirati artists in partnership with Abu Dhabi's Department of Culture and Tourism. Nomad's co-founder Nicolas Bellavance-Lecompte noted that Wilson had endorsed the fair before his passing on July 31, 2025, at 83.
