Join us June 16th, 2021 at 12:30pm EST for a D&D Virtual Market with industry icon David Sutherland and internationally-renowned interior designer Timothy Corrigan, alongside Elan Atelier co-founder Christopher Noto and NYC designer KD Reid. With Market Editor of aspire design and home, Samantha Emmerling moderating, the panel will walk us through the pros and cons of product customization and how the market has been affected by the pandemic. We all love custom pieces but never truly understand the hard work and process that goes into creating them. Sutherland and Noto will share all of their insight from a manufacturing point of view, with Corrigan and Reid sharing their personal experiences as designers. This event will be sponsored by aspire design and home.
