e n v o g u e Product Hopping the nY and vegas Spring Shows If ever there was a month for design, it’s May. Designers and manufacturers scamper from coast to coast, sometimes crossing an ocean or two, to ogle at and/or display the latest wares of the design community. Surely it is impossible to attend every single industry event, but we do our best. BD rounded out the month attending no fewer than three design shows, peppering other relevant events throughout the weeks. First were BKLYN Designs and ICFF, which showcased some local New York innovation and international influence. HD Expo once again brought hospitality standbys to Vegas. While the mood was decidedly conservative there, companies put their best feet forward and planted themselves strongly in an industry that is finally seeing some uptick. – KH BKLYn Designs 1 2 3 4 5 6 1 2 3 4 5 6 uhuru eric Manigian April Hannah Think Fabricate Miscione Design Palo Samko Madbutter Illumination Systems grow House grow 7 8 7 8 46 Boutique Design | July+August 2010
