PANEL DISCUSSION: WHat They Don’t Teach You In School

Please join us for a panel discussion on what they may not teach you in school. We invite you to listen to leading industry professionals from backgrounds of furniture manufacturing, stone applications, paints and interior finishes, plumbing fixtures, kitchen appliances, and fabric performance as they provide their insights on frequently asked every day questions in the field. Our experts will share their knowledge and will be discussing a number of matters that help designers better understand their processes and lessons learned for best practices.

This panel will be held at Stickley Furniture at 207 W 25th St. The event starts at 6pm and the panel discussion will begin promptly at 7pm. Moderating the panel will be NY Metro Chapter’s 2023 Professional Development Director Phoebe Beachner. Food and drinks will be served.

She approaches design with a deep respect for materials and craftsmanship, using Stickley’s original design DNA as a guide while lightening and softening its look for today’s homes.

She followed up with the Scandinavian-inspired Walnut Grove, the St. Lawrence Collection in wire-brushed oak, the designer-focused Portfolio120, and the Martine Collection in curvy cherry. Her latest lifestyle design, Surrey Hills, is inspired by English Arts and Crafts and will arrive in showrooms later this year.
