Architectural Digest Home Design Show 2010

Design by 2Michaels

I try to hit the Architectural Digest Home Show each year, and this time I am happy to report that I won tickets for the 2010 show from ABCDDesigns (thanks, Amy!).

This year, I was particularly inspired by the "Dining By Design" show from DIFFA: Design Industries Foundation Fighting Aids, which ran concurrently with the AD Home Design Show (they were in the same venue, and admission was included with each ticket). Dining by Design is currently taking a multi-city tour to raise money for AIDS, and it features dining installations by well-known designers.

Here are a few pics from my Sunday trek to Pier 94 in Manhattan with some girlfriends to check out the scene (or the "setting," I guess I should say, no?).

I really liked the surprise of this flickering iPod "candelabra" by David Stark for Benjamin Moore--so smart.

Eco-chic set submission in the show's Student Design Initiative

(P.S. We loved this clear plastic version of the Chiavari Bamboo Ballroom Chair, also featured in the Student Design Initiative. Go up-and-comers, go!)

Beautiful! Evette Rios, who designed my kitchen, also did a lovely table for this.

I saw her table--it was lovely! Very magical (and eco, of course).
