The scavenger hunt at the New York Design Center during BlogFest2011 gave me the opportunity to explore the showrooms and look a little deeper at all that they offered. What a treasure trove of design and furnishings – I adored it!
Here is the list of the items that we were to find:
- an item reminiscent of the Chrysler building – love the design of this Kravet fabric!
Kravet Fabrics
- my favorite texture and hue from Kravet’s new Modern Colors Collection – so hard to choose, but I would love to use this in my home.
Kravet - Modern Colors Collection
- an item that would fit into Central Park – this table with the wood base would blend right in!
Palecek
- an item that represents the 1920′s glamour (since the NYDC was built in 1926) – love this elegant sconce.
Metropolitan Lighting Fixture Co.
- an item that represents the glittering lights of Times Square – the glitter and sparkle of the ball on New Year’s Eve!
Metropolitan Lighting Fixture Co.
- an item that reflects the architectural splendor of the Brooklyn Bridge – this industrial piece reminded me of a bridge motif.
1stdibs
- a shot of the color of lamp that we favored from the Mottega collection – I enjoyed hearing Eileen Kathryn Boyd talk about the color selections for this line, but I was enamored with the orange!

- peacock motif from Global Views (that was easy!)
Global Views
- my favorite component of the NYDC’s new Access to Design program – what a tremendous service this is to customers! Love the flashy red chairs…

and I felt right at home when I spotted Connecticut Cottages & Gardens on their resource shelf…
