The People....the Parties


I'm back...so there were tons of parties....and some surprise newcomers (Like the Bernhardt/Fast Company/Gaia & Gino event). The streets were buzzing and again, what I heard was all good.

Vitra's event, though really crowded, was not what even the invited designers expected. I think when you bring some of these great designers over - you should ask if they want a crowd scene with loud music and beer - or if they want a more quiet event where they can meet the people, sign a book, drink champagne....It should be discussed - I think - don't you?

Anyway, BDE ran 4 events - Promos, Alessi, Kartell and Artemide ..... and I'm pleased to report all were successful. There was some confusion over the hours that Promos' exhibition was open - but overall, the clients were pleased. We clocked in over 1200 attendees to Kartell's event.....it was crazy (no designer present even!)




Hope you can get a feel.........check out my next post.....thanks!
