Times Share: Designers Collaborative at the AD Show

DESIGNERS COLLABORATIVE | 20 MARCH 2013

We are delighted four of our members will be speaking at this year’s Architectural Digest Home Design Show, Thursday, March 21 through Sunday, March 24, Pier 94, 55th Street at Twelfth Avenue. Bruce Bierman will be appearing in a Jenn-Air-sponsored panel on Thursday, and Laura Bohn, Ronald Bricke, and Glenn Gissler will be participating in the New York Times Seminar Series, which runs Friday through Sunday. All seminars are held in the Jenn-Air Master Class Studio on the show floor. Programs are complimentary, but seating is limited. Here are the details:

Thursday, March 22, 3 pm–4 pm
TASTE & TECHNOLOGY
Featuring Bruce Bierman, Steve Brown, and Jamie Drake, and moderated by John “Doc” Willoughby: The latest kitchen appliances perform a surprising number of tasks with greater efficiency than ever. How do architects and interior designers balance the tastes and needs of their clients with the wealth of available appliance options?

Friday, March 22, 2 pm–3 pm
THE WAY DESIGNERS LIVE NOW
Laura Bohn, Marshall Watson, and Vincente Wolf join moderator Wendy Moonan from the New York Times for a conversation about what designers do for themselves in their own homes from small, chic city apartments to expansive homes in the Hamptons–without the restrictions placed on them by clients’ taste and needs. They’ll discuss their own process, their own passions, and share intimate stories of the trials and tribulations of hiring yourself as your own designer.

Saturday, March 23, 2 pm–3 pm
KITCHENS & BATHS: EXPLORE DESIGN
Featuring designers Ronald Bricke, Charles Pavarini, and Joe Nahem.
Traditional or modern, large or small, explore what is really essential. A new kitchen or bathroom is a major investment. Following a few design rules and guidelines will almost guarantee two of the most important rooms in the home will be both functional and safe. In short, invest in a good design.

Sunday, March 24, 2 pm–3 pm
THE CHANGING DESIGNER-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP
Join Glenn Gissler, Brendan Kwinter-Schwartz, and Lynne Scalo to see how the changing economy, increasing consumer design sophistication, and the advent of online resources are profoundly affecting the working relationships between interior designers and their clients.

Holiday Giving: Designers Collaborative’s Favorite Philanthropies

DESIGNERS COLLABORATIVE | 20 DECEMBER 2012

This is the season for charitable giving, and everyone has their favorite organization, institution or cause. Here, individual members of Designers Collaborative share where their philanthropic dollars will be going this year.

Carl D’Aquino: My brother is a NYC Lieutenant Fireman and whenever possible we give to the Uniformed Firefighters Association of Greater New York: Widows & Children’s Fund.

Ronald Bricke: The Isabel O’Neil Foundation is instrumental in the revival of the art of the painted finish.

Laura Bohn: For years we’ve ben giving to Kiva, the non-profit microfinancing organization that facilitates small loans, some as little as $25, to impoverished people around the world. And the borrowers always find a way to pay back their loans–it’s amazing!

Jerry Caldari: This year it will be the American Red Cross.

Tim Button: We’ll be giving to Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.

Glenn Gissler: One of the charities I’ll be donating to is Heifer International, which combats world hunger and poverty through gifts of livestock and training.

Susan Arann, Bruce Bierman, and Barry Goralnick: Susan lives on Staten Island, and we are all aware of how badly the borough was damages by Hurricane Sandy. One easy way to donate to the ongoing relief effort is through the Project Hospitality Staten Island Hurricane Relief Fund, which was specially established to directly help families whose homes or apartments were devastated by the storm.

Silver & Gold: Laura Bohn in New York Spaces Magazine

Laura Bohn | 18 DECEMBER 2012

I’m thrilled to have a city pied-à-terre that we here at Laura Bohn Design Associates recently completed featured in the Nov/Dec issue of New York Spaces. Editor in chief Jason Kontos writes: “Laura Bohn takes a quieter approach to seasonal shimmer in an Upper West Side apartment: Using subtle shades of silver, ice blue, and gold, this sure-handed designer added just the right amount of bling to make the place sing.” How great a holiday present is that! Here is a sneak peek of the story.
