At Design San Francisco 2010, all you needed to do was socialize with the guest speakers---renowned interior designers, furniture designers, and textile designers---at the product launches, and receptions that followed their presentations!
During his presentation 'Doing it Right: 21st Century Style', furniture designer Dakota Jackson explored how, by redefining early 20th century modernism, which he considers the base of 21st century design, he invents new products for today's environment. His furniture, including Calypso, his latest collection, is available at the de Sousa Hughes showroom.

Mark Boone's presentation 'Change Comes Naturally---Organic Forms Take Hold on the California Coast', showcased homes in Big Sur, CA and la Jolla, CA that London Boone, his interior design partnership, transformed into organic, oceanfront oases. Both projects feature custom furniture, as well as furniture from Mimi London, the furniture line that was founded by his partner and is available at the Sloan Miyasato showroom.
'Much of what Mimi [London] and I do is either organic or naturally inspired.'

During his presentation about 'Thoughtful Design: Evolution vs. Revolution', interior designer Terry Hunziker discussed the importance of design as a long term investment, using past and present images of his projects to show how, even with periodic changes, good design has longevity. Often, his projects feature custom furniture that inspires his furniture designs for Sutherland, available at the Shears & Window showroom.
'It's not about a lot of change---it's about getting it right the first time!'

Interior designer Suzanne Tucker, a protege of Michael Taylor, recently published her first book, Rooms to Remember. During her presentation 'Everything Old is New Again' at Shears & Window, she introduced Suzanne Tucker Home, her new textile collection that was inspired by 18th and 19th century documentary textiles and reinterpreted for contemporary interiors.
'We are always looking for something that's going to make a room sing in a different way...'
