Windows to the World

Interior Designer, David Hicks, from Australia, was one of the few international designers selected to be a part of the Legends of La Cienega, Windows to the World event.  It's an annual design celebration where different interior designers create store front windows up and down La Cienega Blvd in the Los Angeles Design Quarter.

This year, David chose to use one of Alexandra's most popular designs, the Brilliant Console Table as part of his beautiful design located in the store window of Downtown located on 719 N. La Cienega Blvd.

Congratulations to David Hicks and his amazing creation.  We were so proud to be a part of it.

NEW YORK INTERNATIONAL GIFT FAIR

The AVF Accent Accessory collection was launched in New York at the New York International Gift Fair (NYIGF) back in August 2010, and we have continued to launch our newest and most exciting products there since then.

At this last show we featured our new Snap Frames (picture frames), Oasis Frames (wall hanging frames), Vanity Mirror Trays, and our Limited Edition Lotus Fruit bowl.  

Below are photos of our booth where you could see our entire accessory collection.

THE PINK SWAN PROJECT

Alexandra Von Furstenberg designed this Swan chair as part of the The Pink Swan Project to benefit the Breast Cancer Research Foundation

Her inspiration:

"My idea for this design was to see how I could transform the original swan chair into an interpretaion of what I do.  The Alexandra Von Furstenberg brand is an acrylic based furniture and accessories house.  My inspiration was melted taffy, how could I melt plastic on top of the swan chair to look either like draping, melting or molding...et voila a chair in armored plastic.  The brand is best known for its neon colors so what better way to support Breast Cancer than by using our pink neon acrylic.  ON the back rest of the chair is the lip logo in pink sealing it with a kiss and a white painted leg to streamline the whole look.  It was a joy to participate in such a wonderful cause.  Thank you.

Auction ends on October 31, 2011.
