FROM A WHITE SILK YARN
Andrea Rubelli Tuesday, Oct. 7 | 9 AM Andrea Rubelli, President and CEO of Donghia and Co-CEO of Rubelli, narrates the unique exhibition recently created by the Rubelli Design Studio in Venice, presenting seven amazing installations whose single common denominator is a thread of white silk. Each piece in the exhibit is a very personal work of art, created by each of the designers of Rubelli, yet all based on a wrap made of the exact same silk yarn, the noblest of fibers and a key feature in Rubelli creations. White, a non-color color, allows each artist to create in total freedom. Sponsored by: Donghia
Andrea Rubelli
Please join Donghia at 8 AM in Suite 631 for breakfast. Meet Andrea Rubelli before the presentation and view the Rubelli collection in the Donghia Showroom, Suite 631.

Century Furniture, Suite 1464 THE JULIETTE CIGARETTE TABLE The Juliette Cigarette Table with Blue Mirror was designed by Windsor Smith for Century Furniture. The idea of this table is loosely based on a pair of vintage mirrored tables Windsor once owned. The mirrored top provides a watery reflection of the candlesticks or flowers you place on it, so it is as much a treat sitting next to it as it is enjoying it from across the room. This table can be made with a dreamy blue-mirrored top or with a more subdued plain mirror!
