Roster of Selected Interior Designers Revealed




BOSTON, MA (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 26, 2016

Celebrating the 45th Anniversary of Show House, the Junior League of Boston has announced that the 2016 Decorators’ Show House (Show House) will be the 1854 Nathaniel Allen House in Newton, Massachusetts. This premier design event will be held May 7, 2016 through June 5, 2016 and will feature the creative talents of the Boston area’s finest designers.

Placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978, the Nathaniel Allen House was the site of the earliest co-educational school in the country and was a stop on the Underground Railroad. Owned by the Newton Cultural Alliance (NCA) since 2012, the property will support small and medium sized performances and cultural events.

“The Junior League of Boston specializes in embracing signature service projects to benefit the greater Boston community. Improving the Nathaniel Allen House through our Decorators’ Show House will facilitate enhanced program space for arts and culture, with a special focus on programming for children,” said Valerie Pontiff, President of the Junior League of Boston.
Pamela Berutti, Show House Co-Chair, comments: “The League is celebrating its 110th anniversary in 2016 and this is a wonderful opportunity to showcase the area’s best designers, share the League’s mission and activities with the public, and raise money for the programs which impact thousands of girls and women annually.”

“The timing could not be more perfect to help the Newton Cultural Alliance get a boost in their renovation efforts while also benefiting the Junior League and causes that we hold dear”, adds Co-Chair Susan Moussalli.

Constructed in 1854, the property is ideally situated in West Newton Square and consists of a Greek Revival house, a former servant’s wing, and a barn. Using the home as blank canvas, the 2016 Decorators’ Show House gives Boston area designers the opportunity to demonstrate their talents and unique design style through complete redecoration of the home.

The Nathaniel Allen House boasts over 20 rooms that will be transformed by renowned designers in the coming months before opening to the public. As in years past, interior designers were invited to submit design proposals to participate in the 2016 Junior League Show House. After reviewing proposals from many talented designers and firms, the Junior League of Boston is delighted to announce that the following designers have been selected:

Ronbow® Premieres New Signature Series – 9 Renowned European Designers Create 11 Globally Trendsetting Collections for the Bath

Theo tin prweb.com




FREMONT, CA (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 17, 2016

The Signature Series by Ronbow marks the rare occasion that nine of the world’s most distinguished designers have been chosen to create their own collections for one single brand. The designers responsible for the Signature Series are known for their contributions to iconic brands such as Nike, Adidas, Vuitton, Apple and a firm recognized for several exotic Italian automobiles. The series includes multiple options and configurations, with convenient and smart innovations such as LED touch sensitive mirrors, USB ports and plug outlets incorporated into the product, as well as unique material combinations.

Bringing together some of the world’s most innovative masters of expression, the Signature Series by Ronbow consists of 11 collections designed by nine top European designers. Designers involved with the series include: Pininfarina (Italy), DANELONMERONI (UK), Ramon Esteve (Spain), Ora Ito (France), Kurz Kurz Design (Germany), Joan Lao (Spain), Phoenix Design (Germany), Matteo Thun & Antonio Rodriquez (Italy) and Alexander Zhukovsky (Russia). These designers infused their passion and creativity with Ronbow’s philosophy of high-quality craftsmanship and attention to detail to create next generation bathroom furniture and complete suites unlike any seen before.

“The Signature Series is a landmark for Ronbow’s presence in the upper echelon of unforgettable brands and continues to define our mission of bringing astonishing products with design integrity, functionality and quality to market,” said Stuart Stanton, executive vice president at Ronbow. “The spirit, imagination and art that these incredible designers put into the collections give them a look and feel overflowing with energy and ingenuity.”

The initiative to extend product development and industrial design to award-winning talent outside of Ronbow’s team was the vision of Ronbow’s Founder and CEO, Jason Chen, as part of the ongoing strategy to bring fresh and contemporary European design into their diverse portfolio of collections. To do so, Ronbow went directly to the most celebrated and internationally recognized experts around.

“For over 14 years, the Ronbow brand has been synonymous with quality, craftsmanship and diverse product offerings all over the world,” said Chen. “We are driven by innovation in design, technology and refined manufacturing practices, so our evolution in creating the next bath furniture suite release for our discerning clientele led us to working with nine European designers who are each recognized as being leaders in their respective fields. There is something very humbling and gratifying to realize when working with these renowned brands that is much more than us selecting and investing in them; they have entrusted their prestigious reputations to Ronbow because they know we can deliver on their design visions and that our manufacturing capabilities, finishing techniques and exceptional quality are world class.”
The following is an overview of the Signature Series by Ronbow:

BRIT Collection by DANELONMERONI
Designed by commercially successful and critically acclaimed UK design duo Claudia Danelon and Federico Meroni, founders of the iconic London based design studio DANELONMERONI, the BRIT collection exudes comfort and refined luxury to complement every residential interior – from urban apartments to classic homes.
