When the New York Design Center made its women on the design day last spring, Alix Lerman, Chief Marketing Officer at 200 Lex, was not sure what would expect. Contrary to the scope of the building of the building, what is new, what the next event is in autumn, the goal for this meeting was regional, with those who could commute in Manhattan Top of Mind. The concept was also intimate and organized a selected number of panels for a lunch break for exhibition purchases and breakout sessions. The fact that it fell in the middle of the month of women's history helped his gender -specific focus.
The introductory conference spoke directly to a segment of the industry, in which a forum was missing far from a niche audience to solve the many problems with which it was confronted. “The first women in design were one of the most recorded thematic events, which we went to over 19 years in which I went at 200 Lex,” says Lerman. “We have so many female and female brands in the building-The Gallery of the Konkt, Merida and Wexler, to name just a few-and there are so many interior designers and makers. Not only to celebrate female talent, but also to talk about relevant topics that really vibrate. “
Women in design, which was strengthened by the success of its first iteration, returns on March 12 with a even more curated and more nuanced programming plan. The panels include an examination of inimitable chemistry that occurs when women work together. A discussion of positive ways to cross borders; And a strategy session about how the difficult to grasp, yet decisive work-life balance can be achieved. “We are an industry that is so intertwined with the personal that it is easy to lose sight of the line,” notes Lerman. The entire day is dedicated to the entire day of the late Amy Lau – an extraordinary designer and loved member of the 200 Lex family, “she says, to recognize the positive side of such a connectivity and the profound bonds that can form between colleagues.
The agenda of the day is digital and video content such as profiles of the industry pictures Dara Caponigro, Young Huh, Sara Kravet, Jennifer Maners and Business at home Founder Julia Noran Johnston over 200 Lex 'newsletter and social media. Visitors to the center can take a tour of women-designed products throughout the month. “We are happy to build on what we can build in a way last year that is interesting and different,” says Lerman.
