From 9AM to 5PM on Tuesday, May 20 shop with the creatives behind some of the most respected boutique brands in the industry. As a part of the event, we’ll also host two inspiring talks with editors from Veranda and Business of Home.

From 10:30 to 11:30AM, join Ellen McGauley, executive editor of Veranda, for a lively conversation with designers Mary Graham and Nicole Salvesen of esteemed British design firm Salvesen and Graham. Salvesen and Graham interiors exude warmth and softness and evoke a sense of retreat from the bustle of family and everyday life. The elegance of Georgian England has always influenced their work, particularly in relation to architecture and furniture. Immediately following their conversation with Ellen, Mary and Nicole will be signing copies of their new book, A New English Style: Timeless Interiors by Salvesen Graham.

From 2:30 to 3:30PM, join Kaitlin Petersen, editor in chief of Business of Home for "Meet the Makers," a conversation with several our designer and artist participants. In addition to exploring each of their diverse backgrounds and career paths, much of the discussion will focus on their creative processes, the expressive properties of their work and their inspirations and influences.
