doing good

At the October High Point Market Spectra Home showroom visitors wrote their special healing intentions on a beautiful linen fabric which was used to upholster a Tamara Day by Spectra Home Meyer Chair. Infused with hopeful, helpful energy it was raffled off after the April Market to benefit The Common Thread for The Cure Foundation.

Gift for Life, the gift and home industries’ longest-running, volunteer-led national charitable organization, today announced new leadership of its Board of Directors with Sarah Mount of ANDMORE and Emalee Hoffman of CMA Gifts transitioning to Chair and First Vice Chair respectively and Amy Loewenberg of NY NOW at Emerald X elected to Second Vice Chair.

he New York Chapter of the International Furnishings and Design Association (IFDA NY), was out in full force to judge the exhibits at NY NOW, which showcases lines across the home, lifestyle, handmade and gift spectrum and is an IFDA NY Silver Industry Partner. Dondrill Glover, the new IFDA NY VP of Social Architecture & Global Harmony, turned things up a notch by instituting a new award category, SOCIAL IMPACT DESIGN.
