A celebration of storytelling and design as childhood classics come to life through imaginative, designer-created vignettes!
About this Event

Get ready to take a nostalgic stroll down memory lane as Michigan Design Center hosts "Designing the Classics"—a whimsical decorating event where childhood favorites meet the world of interior design.

Throughout the building, more than 20 creative vignettes—each inspired by a beloved children’s book—will be on display. From timeless stories to tales by some of the most notable children’s book authors, each space promises to charm and inspire with playful, storybook style.

Meet the designers behind each display, learn the stories that inspired their creations, and vote for your favorite vignette during this exciting open house.
