Many of you have asked me to share the video clips of the roundtable discussion we has at VW Home on October 7th and I am happy to oblige! Here is Michael Bruno, founder of www.1stdibs.com, talking about how he got to be successful, doing things his own way.

Part 2

Be sure to check back tomorrow for more clips from this informative evening.

    Very entertaining. I loved listening to Michael’s story too. It’s nice to see people who had a vision and just kept going with it and didn’t give up.

    I’m a huge fan of Michael’s, so thanks for sharing this footage for those of us unable to make these kinds of events. He has quite a wicked sense of humour which makes him all the more likable!

    Hi, Vincente–this is my first blogging, and I’m a bit nervous!–Your whole blog is full of an amazing depth of information of the Home Furnishings industry, Interior Design,Antiques, and basic—Joie de Vivre information, that has me extremely impressed, and I’m not impressed easily!
    We are in the process of opening an Antique and Design Center at Furniture Market in Oct geared towards Interior Designers-And I noticed your involvement with educating the younger crowd moving up– to appreciate the importance of antiques in an environment-All Modern is so easy- but too often,the result is a soul-less space!
    We’re so proud to have 4 1stDibs dealers joining us for this first Grand Opening in High Point–and everyone involved is —excited at the possibilities !—We hope to show the younger generation that antiques are cool and current and NECESSARY in creating an Interior that actually breaths with a soul as unique as it’s creators.
    Good luck with your new ventures and –I’m hooked, now–Keep up the inspirational work —Karen Luisana
