I am so honored to have been invited to be the 2010 Guest of Honor for South Africa’s Rooms on View. This annual show has established itself as the best in the South African industry, showcasing local talent and sharing international imports. I hear that there will be a mixture of furniture, ceramics, fabrics and other interior design elements all set up in real room settings and am excited to see what impact the impending World Cup will have on their event! The even is sponsored by Condé Nast House & Garden – one of the magazines I’ve really missed having in the US.
If you have plans to be in South Africa in a week’s time, come say hi! Here are the details of the talks I’ll be participating in:

This should be a very interesting event. I hope that it will be recorded so that we can view it on YouTube.
