We walked the stairs (because as all you other attendees know the line for the elevators was outrageous) to find our three favorites “P’s” – parties, products and people. Here are some of the highlights:

Seeing industrial designer Ross Lovegrove in his dapper white couture suit. He was commissioned by Knoll to design the Ross Lovegrove Collection, a new line of tables and storage units which debuted at the show.

The Steelcase party – if you are ever looking for a clever way to spread the word out about a bash – take some notes from Steelcase. Their 5-man group of break-dancers went floor to floor of the mart getting all sorts of attention from the crowd. They showed off some acrobatic skills, handed out invitations and set the mood for a festive night.

Designtex launched their fabulous new showroom on the 3rd floor of the mart.

New York-based Maharam launched their exclusive, international partnership with Danish-based Kvadrat.
