For those of you who did not make it to the Architectural Digest Home Design Show, here are some photos of our booth. All in all, it was a good four days. That’s Franklin on the right building a Herbert Chair as part of our display.
Here, have a brochure:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The Cube Chair
Pier 94, New York, NY - Vica (www.vicadesign.com) and its upholsterer, Baron (www.baronnyc.com), announce their debut at the Architectural Digest Home Design Show in New York, showing a collection of original and classic furniture designed for Vica by Annabelle Selldorf.
This year Vica and Baron have combined efforts to show more than a display of furniture; they want you to see you how it’s made. A representative from Baron will be constructing and upholstering a Vica Herbert Chair from start to finish during the show, giving visitors the opportunity to observe and ask questions about the materials, process, and reflect on the hand-crafted, custom quality created by both designer and craftsman.
Sustainability equals quality
In case you haven’t noticed, everyone is asking, “Where do you stand on sustainability?” Vica and Baron choose carefully vetted materials and pioneering and innovative manufacturing practices that deliver products that conform to the most stringent sustainable standards.
Beyond Architecture
Don’t miss Annabelle Selldorf on this design panel, Thursday, March 18, at 11 a.m. Ms. Selldorf and Alex P. Lamis will participate in a panel discussion about contemporary architecture and the growing trend of architects venturing beyond architecture into interior design and product design. Lamis and Selldorf will discuss their multidisciplinary design practices at length, with a special opportunity for Q&A following the presentation. Donald Albrecht of the Museum of the City of New York will moderate.
“A world of design inspiration awaits at the 9th Annual Architectural Digest Home Design Show. Explore the latest ideas and products for the home-from furniture and lighting to kitchens and baths.”
AD Home Design Show, 2010
