New York City's premier design industry association chapters,
NKBA,
ASID,
IFDA,
IDS and
DLFNY, combined forces to produce a blockbuster summer social last month! The soiree theme was "Flower Power: The Summer of Love" to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Woodstock.
Tilebar graciously hosted the event in their two-floor Flatiron District showroom. Guests enjoyed dancing to groovy tunes, fun craft cocktails, period-appropriate hors d'oeuvres and more. A major thank you to
Kent Brasloff, chief industry party guru. If you haven't already seen the awesome photos on our Facebook page, please

Hello GROOVY PEOPLE! I hope you were at our Flower Power: Summer of Love Summer Social! First, thanks to everyone on the inter association committee that made it happen and in particular to
Kent Brasloff, grooviest event guru of them all. A fantastic time was had by all and the gathering of the NYC design community under one roof speaks volumes for the direction this industry is heading in.
The continued education of our community cross referencing kitchen and bath into interior design is important to our future and I look forward to our associations spending more time together. It is also my pleasure to announce that I will be continuing as
NKBA Manhattan President through December of 2021. I appreciate all the support and look forward to working with our incoming council to create dynamic programming, networking and events. Committees for next year will be forming and all are welcome to join our greater council. Happy summer break and I look forward to seeing you in the fall. - Toni :)

Summer is shaping up nicely so far! With plenty of sun and just a touch of rain, New York City is fresher than ever. Perhaps that’s due to the city’s tough-as-nails attitude, but it may also have something to do with the latest shower products from
VIGO. Already deemed favorites by top architects, both the
VIGO ELAN Sliding Glass Shower Door and the fixed
VIGO Meridian Shower Screen are changing the shower game for Summer 2019. While both models have already been on the market for several years, they are now being offered in a rich brushed gold finish. Sunny and fresh, this hue brightens any modern bathroom, taking the interior design element of your home to the next level. Be the first to find out about these products and more updates from
VIGO by emailing
