Invitation: Two Design Event Musts: Our ICFF Talk + Ornare Opening Night
two very special design events.
MAY 21, 11am: Across Perspectives: Design Futures. Worth waking up for!
I’m excited to invite you to join me on Sunday am … I pulled together my favorite design people (along with the amazing Scott Sanders) for a chat on all things new in design. Early birds can listen in as leaders in the design field for over two decades, top design trend experts, first-class designers, architects, editors, and Feng Shui experts (oh! me!) predict design trends, industry challenges, and strengths. This crew’s perspectives on the most important design trends and practices for the coming twelve months is a blueprint for anyone planning success in 2017. Happy to say that our talk was enthusiastically covered by industry heavy, Editor At Large! ICFF (International Contemporary Furniture Fair) is North America’s largest and most prestigious series of design events for interiors and is held at the Javits Center, NYC.
