Adventures in Design

THOM FILICIA SPEAKS ABOUT HIS EXPERIENCES AT THIS YEAR’S ANTIQUES & GARDEN SHOW

BY HOLLIE DEESE

From Feb. 3 to Feb. 5, the iconic Music City Center in downtown Nashville will transform into a one-of-a-kind shopping experience, housing more than 150 art, antique and horticulture dealers, three interactive garden showcases and an incredible lecture lineup from some of the top names in design — including acclaimed designer Thom Filicia.

As the go-to designer for clients like Tina Fey, Delta Air Lines, Jennifer Lopez, W Hotels and others in the worlds of finance, sports, media, fashion and hospitality, Filicia has a way of creating modern, yet classic, interiors that retain an inviting aesthetic reflecting the individuality of his clients.

On Friday, Feb. 3, Filicia is going to speak about his “Adventures in Home Design” with Mary McDonald as one of the lecture speakers at this year’s Antiques & Garden Show of Nashville.

McDonald is author of the best-selling Rizzoli book Mary McDonald: Interiors: The Allure of Style, designs lighting, rugs, fabric, trim, furniture and jewelry, and she currently has lines with F. Schumacher & Co., Patterson Flynn and Chaddock. She also has starred in Bravo television’s Million Dollar Decorators and Property Envy.

Filicia and McDonald are following Aerin Lauder, Alice Naylor-Leyland and David Netto, who will speak about the beauty of entertaining at home during the first day of the show. On Saturday, Feb. 4, Christin Geall leads a panel on color theory for floral design after a lineup of leading designers — Corey Damen Jenkins, Suzanne Kasler, Celerie Kemble and Richard Keith Langham — discuss the tapestry of the home.
