We are offering a special program scheduled for
May 5 by IFDA. As IFDA’s NY Chapter Board VP for New Directions, I will
be moderating the Evening Event held at the Headquarter Offices of and hosted
by Material ConneXion located at 1271 Avenue of the Americas on the 17th
floor of the Time & Life Building.
Three expert panelists will lift the curtain on tomorrow’s home and share
their forecasts of what the future holds for our home environments - what home
will look like – feel like – and how technology and product innovation will
intersect, re-shape, and enrich the way we live.
Dr. Andrew Dent ,Vice President of Material
ConneXion heads the company’s extensive Materials Library and Research. He is a
frequent speaker across many design disciplines and has helped hundreds of
clients – from Whirlpool to Adidas, BMW and Rolls Royce -to develop or improve their
products through the use of innovative materials.
Matilda McQuaid is Deputy Director of Curatorial
and head of the Textiles department at the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum.
She overseas one of the premier textile collections in the world. To many of us
in the design trade, she is well known as one of the most foresighted oracles
of the Next BIG Thing in textiles and beyond.
Leslie Clagett is the Products Editor at The
Architects Newspaper. Well versed in residential construction, she has a
special affinity for Kitchen & Bath, both the design elements which
comprise them and the engineering behind them. Her observations are well
documented in her blog kbculture.com. Her presentation will explore the
interplay between technology, materials and design trends in residential
architecture with a focus how they impact home interiors.
A special bonus for IFDA members and their guests on the
night of the event will be access to the usually CM Members Only on-site

I love the space here. I attended an amazing event here and I ate more than I should. At the best happy hour nyc I had bread pudding, apple crisp, waffles and strawberries and cream. The main floor is very large and good size without being overwhelming, also there's tons of bar space too to order drinks.
