Fendi Casa Opening in SeptemberFashion and interior design converge when the Fendi Casa showroom opens in September at The Washington Design Center in Suite 610. Exclusive and precious details, a quasi-maniacal attention to each detail, the traditional hand-made manufacturing and the high quality of products make every home creation unique. Not only sofas, armchairs and beds, but also accessories that enrich the range of products. Such materials which make any Fendi Casa product unique are the enriched details stolen from fashion: the great buckles taken from the best-selling Fendi B. Bag, the jewel buttons with the “Palazzo Fendi” (Fendi Palace) print, the nails and even the maxi logo in the new italics version with Swarovsky crystals. See the beautiful home fashions of Fendi Casa, opening soon! |

This fall, the Business of Design Lecture Series will launch in partnership with Veranda magazine. Replacing the former Fall and Spring Design Lecture Series, the Business of Design features a comprehensive and extensive line-up of presentations aimed at
educating, engaging and enhancing the business you call “design.” Sponsoring and headlining the series, Veranda magazine and Megerian Rugs present “Antique Versus Reproduction Rugs” on October 3. This feature lecture will be moderated by Veranda Senior Associate Editor, Catherine Davis and will include an expert from Megerian Rugs detailing how to distinguish between true antique rugs and antique reproduction rugs, as well as the quality and value behind both types. Following the presentation, visit the J. Asher showroom, Suite 510, for a luncheon and a chance to win an Armenian-made Mahal-design reproduction rug.

Coleman, author of Window Dressings: Beautiful Draperies & Curtains for the Home, and Felicia Baker, owner of Magnolia Designs and book featured designer, present inspirational ideas for creating stunning window treatments for every room of the home. Windows are integral parts of every room’s structure and design,
whether it’s a traditional living room, bay window, formal dining room with French doors, or just a small bedroom with a single window tucked under the eaves. A book signing and luncheon will follow the presentation.
