There are lots of blueprints for hosting a notable party. Interior Designer and new ASID President-elect Robin Baron has one of those diagrams. The annual holiday celebration for ASID was held at the Artistic Tile showroom in Manhattan.. . . and let me just say - the party was a splendid burst of lighthearted pleasure.
The open bar was tended by smiling volunteers who poured generously. There were snack tables filled with meats, cheeses, crackers, shrimp, nuts and dips conveniently located in the center of the stone and tile showroom. The roar of conversation and laughter hummed throughout the storefront space.
One of my favorite moments was when Ms. Baron pointed her finger directly at DJ Ebaum who returned the gesture by turning it up and turning it out with classic dance tunes. A boisterous dance session evolved - who knew the design community liked to dance and could bust a move?
It was fun to see Catarine Wright, Charles Pavarini, Patrick Hamilton, Arlene Angard, Adrian Levin, Lisa McMahon, Yumi Kim, Rebecca Vicars, Phylliss Harbinger, Richard Segal, Louis Navarrete and so many others at this energetic holiday event.
Thank you Robin Baron, ASID Metro Chapter, Artistic Tile and DJ Ebaum. Your cheerful and exuberant event was perfectly drafted and designed.
