A Star-Filled Day Coming at the Wakefield Design Center

April 15, 2014

By Stacy Kunstel 

Met any design stars lately? Join us at the Wakefield Design Center in Stamford on May 1, 2014, for a day full of elbow-rubbing with interior design icons, artists, industry leaders, and nationally known bloggers.

Things kicks off at 12:30 p.m. with a personal talk by Thomas O’Brien, who has created some of the most pinnable interiors of the last twenty years and created an empire of home furnishings and accessories. He’ll also be signing copies of his book Aero, which will be available for purchase at the event or can be preordered by emailing sarah@imagesanddetails.com.

Beacon Hill design director Alexis Audette will present new fabrics, and then I’ll be conducting a panel discussion with artist-designer Kerri Rosenthal, designer Tiffany Eastman, and designer-blogger Jennifer Mehditash on building your design business online.

After a chance to peruse exquisite passementerie by Samuel and Sons (presented by designer Lori Weitzner), Stacey Bewkes, known for her blog Quintessence, will sit down for a Q&A with author, designer, and TV personality Thom Filicia.
