As mentioned in previous posts we went to Las Vegas for the Interior Design Trade Show recently. We were inspired, wowed, and very very tired by the end of day three. The Las Vegas Market has to really be seen in order to completely understand the magnitude of it. There are 3 buildings all over 14 stories high FILLED with vendors who sell furniture, rugs, art, accessories...pretty much anything you can put into (or out) of a home they offer it. Only the newest pieces are displayed which means that designers see the new trends about 4 months before any retailer has it on their floor. Its very intimidating but VERY cool for any designer. While there, we were able to find (and reconnect!) with several companys.
Companies we were particullary wowed by:
