I am excited to be representing new lines out of several showrooms from the San Francisco Design Center. I will be helping to promote J.D Staron showroom, designers and makers of fine carpets and rugs. Jakub Staron, the founder, while under the umbrella of his own company, also designed carpets and rugs for Stark. Jakub now concentrates on increasing the visibility of the J.D. Staron showrooms. His collections reflect the importance of texture, color and technique. I suspect you all will enjoy seeing the collection as much as I will enjoy showing it.
Also, I will be working with Georgina Rice showroom who has several fabric, furniture and accessories lines: Nancy Corzine, Christopher Hyland, Besselink and Jones Lighting, a new wool line and many more. I am also pleased to be working with Sabira Pillows, Robert Abbey Lighting under Lee Menichella's Hospitality Trading Company and other manufacturers that will be coming on board.
My decades (really!) of focusing on hospitality will not change. I will continue working with my Belgian colleague, Peter Borgmans, to promote mill direct European textiles for the hospitality industry. Peter's strength is two-fold: From his travels and contacts with several mill sources, he offers a wide selection of sheers, single and double width, all FR, and well-priced.
I find this opportunity pretty exciting. I am thinking it will also be quite interesting. Most importantly, what I know, without reservation, is that I will continue to always look forward to seeing and working with all of you.
Best personal regards,
Mimi
