Design on a Dime 2025: A Celebration of Creativity, Community, and Cause
Find our books in New York City for Design on a Dime — Housing Works’ iconic, transformative benefit where design meets compassion in curated, vignette-style showcases by top interior visionaries. As proud sponsors of this luminous event, benton buckley books is honored to support Housing Works’ mission to end homelessness and AIDS through design’s most generous and celebratory expression.
In a gesture as personal as it is profound, we have gifted our museum-quality coffee table books to the creative hands and hearts of ten extraordinary firms — JDK Interiors, Philip Gorrivan Design, beam&bloom, Josh Minter Design, K.A. Murphy Interiors, Anjali Pollack Design, Gray Space Interiors, Chrissy Ritter LLC, Corey Damen Jenkins & Associates, and Tina Ramchandani Creative. Each book was selected as a reflection of the designer’s ethos — a token of beauty, a touch of legacy.
Additionally, we have donated copies of be-spōk/[bespoke]: a philosophy of beauty into the cherished shelves of the Housing Works Bookstore, located on 126 Crosby Street, where stories of design, hope, and humanity converge.
Let us gather in grace — to admire the exquisite, to honor the imaginative, and to give generously. This is not merely an event; it is a living exhibition of what art can achieve when inspired by purpose.

London Book Fair: A Curated Wine Reception with Beth Buckley

London Book Fair — Stand 6A51
March 10 | 3:00 – 5:00 in the afternoon
Please RSVP by March 1
There are moments in publishing when conversation becomes something more — a gathering of minds, a collision of beauty and commerce, a quiet revolution disguised as a glass of wine.
Join us at the London Book Fair for an intimate, curated reception hosted by IPG, in conversation with Beth Buckley — founder and principal publisher of benton buckley books. Amid the hum of the fair and the fragrance of fresh pages, we will explore what it means to transform books from mere inventory into inspiration, into community, into art.

Beth publishes as a gallerist curates — with discernment, daring, and devotion to the authentic voice. Her museum-quality illustrated volumes elevate shelves and shape culture, honoring designers, architects, and visionaries whose work deserves permanence.
Guests will preview three celebrated titles:
/be-spōk/ [bespoke]: a philosophy of beauty — a bold meditation on custom interiors and the philosophy that undergirds true design.
modish: the book of great design — a sweeping, large-format exhibition of twenty five North American designers whose work ranges from restrained to resplendent.
Jenny Garrigues: A Romance with Design — an intimate portrait of a life devoted to aesthetic adventure, global influence, and fearless eclecticism.
We will also share how our Authentic Voices Speaker Series makes in-store experiences effortless — from curated event kits to signed bundles — uniting retailers, readers, and creators in a shared dialogue of beauty.
This is not merely a reception. It is an invitation to reimagine what books can do in your space — how they can anchor a room, ignite a conversation, and linger long after the last sip has been savoured.

We look forward to raising a glass with you — to art, to ideas, and to the enduring power of the printed page.
