We’ve got exciting news to share and want you to be among the
first to hear!
I'm proud to report that business at the design firm is on the upswing and we are
very busy, with a growing client roster and multiple projects throughout South
Florida, as well as New York. My furniture collection for E.J. Victor is also
gaining new placements in retail stores and design centers across the country,
as well as international venues.
Just
last month, we opened our first international gallery in Panama, at Addison
House, a high-style contemporary home furnishings chain that also has showrooms
in Aventura and Miami. Addison House represents more than 100 of the finest
furniture manufacturers in the world, primarily from Europe, Brazil and
Indonesia, and I’m thrilled that the Allison Paladino Collection for E.J.
Victor is now represented among their offerings. I had an opportunity to travel
to Panama for the Grand Opening of the gallery, and it was a great experience
for me to interact personally with the store’s executive team, and to introduce
their customers to my designs.
As this
busy and exciting summer winds down, I’m hard at work preparing for the
upcoming High Point Market. I’ll be sharing more about the new designs I have
planned for introduction this Fall in upcoming reports and blogs, but watch for
news about the modern, low-profile Legend sofa named for my friend Steven
Avitale, senior director of furniture galleries at Ralph Lauren, and the
over-sized Kuester club chair, and 1930’s French-inspired coffee table with a
waterfall edge. All push my design aesthetic (and comfort zone!) further into the
modern realm and I can’t wait to show you!
Finally, if you are attending the High Point Market, please mark your calendars now for Tuesday, October 16, 2012 at 2 p.m. and join me in the E.J. Victor showroom at 116 S. Lindsay Street in High Point for a special seminar: Luxury Design Insight 2012. I’ll be joined for the talk by Sarah Kammlah and Cecilia Berber-Thayer. Ellen Gefen, host of Home Fashion Report and editor of thehome.com is moderating. We’ll be focusing on key trends and the changing needs of the high-end consumer.
