It has been a busy couple of years, and I am regularly invited to find innovative design at industry trade shows from London, Milan, Frankfurt, Paris to Highpoint, Atlanta, Miami and Los Angeles and write about it here on the blog. Please join us for what promises to be an exceptional evening where I will participate in a panel discussion. Along with these expert designers, I will talk about trends, international and nation design trade shows and what we glean from traveling to these stellar events. We will investigate how this design spotting influences our aesthetic, our businesses and our homes. The IFDA NY Chapter and Cliff Young are sponsoring the the event. With esteemed interior designer Anthony Baratta as our moderator, interior designer Nancy Fire, Cliff Young's Leslie Young Zarra and I will discuss this interesting topic.
