Wallpaper* US400 Returns for Fourth Edition in 2026

publication · 2026-07-03

Wallpaper* magazine has released the fourth edition of its US400 list, a curated roster of 400 individuals and firms across architecture, design, jewelry, fashion, hospitality, art, technology, transport, and entertaining. The 2026 edition coincides with the 250th anniversary of the United States and the magazine's 30th anniversary. The list, which began in 2023 with 300 names, expanded to 400 to better capture the breadth of American creative output. Inductees range from established industry titans to emerging practices, selected based on newsworthiness, impact, and inspiration rather than formal application. The US400 is published in the August 2026 issue, available from July 4 on newsstands, the Wallpaper* app, and Apple News+.
