Winter snow banks were on every street corner is SoHo. There was a brisk wind and a sultry, champagne tinted half moon. Mother Nature provided a setting which blended perfectly with the swank gathering at the "chic sleep storefront" that is SLEEP STUDIO. Christina Juarez PR  which focuses on luxury design brands organized a recognition and thank you celebration for Interior Designer, Breast Cancer survivor and philanthropist Iris Dankner.

Iris Dankner, is the co-founder of Holiday House which is one of NYC most elegant and successful annual showhouses. Her idea of inviting 25+ designers to each design a room with a holiday theme within a landmark Manhattan mansion has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars towards finding a cure for Breast Cancer. Ms. Juarez cleverly linked Sleep Studio to celebrity designer Campion Platt and installed a luxurious, modern bedroom for Holiday House 2013.

Sleep Studio is a wonderful 3700 sq.ft. flagship, retail location in heart of NYC chic "SoHo" shopping district. Founded by Michael Rothbard, Sleep Studio has found its dream niche. Offering bedding and furniture to the interior design community while sleepwear, bath and body products have a growing appeal with consumers. Like sleep itself, the brand can be fun, sensual and indulgent. The Sleep Studio elegance combined with the Christina Juarez finesse offered a festive celebration for the 50-60 design professionals that attended.

  1. Meanwhile, Chris and Michael don't pay taxes in the southern states they have this crap made - where they employ.
    Additionally, they, like most, don't have a thought about protecting their workers' health. That's what they like about the south.
