Be the first to see it- click here to register for the FREE VIP Virtual Launch Event! As soon as I got the call from Leslie Carothers of Savour Partnership asking me to be a designer in the virtual designer showhouse, I knew that I wanted to support this innovative and visionary concept. I immediately said yes to being a featured designer. And since I have my own home furnishings collections, I asked if my company could also be a sponsor. And, of course, the answer was also YES! Kudos to Gary Pettitt, publisher of Seasonal Living Magazine. He is a true visionary who, along with Leslie, has brought the future into the present! Gary shared; I wanted to find new and innovative ways that we could bring product manufacturers and world-class designer talent together – to create enhanced ways for both sides of the industry to collaborate on a brand new innovative concept that allows consumers around the world to see luxury products in context without budget or product availability constraints. Thanks also goes to Jenna Gaidusek , CEO of eDesign.tribe + and her amazing eDesign platform rendering team. For bringing this virtual concept to fruition.
The Future of Design is HERE!
Even though the showhouse is only virtual and will only be virtual, it is situated on 20 real acres in Malibu, CA, this property features breathtaking views overlooking the Pacific coastline and an awe-inspiring 20,000 square feet of design space. Many of the rooms in the virtual showhouse are multifunctional and serve unique purposes, influenced by the way families want to live now. The house is focused around wellness and sustainability. Center-stage is a kitchen with a three-floor solarium with an expansive greenhouse. This is a live food solarium that will showcase how growing your own food – indoors – is possible. This luxury showhouse also features a picturesque koi pond and a modern room dedicated entirely to virtually connecting + Zoom meetings!
