Is still a thing? Because we’re still talking about last week.
As part of TC Design Week, we welcomed the design community into our new showroom for a night of fresh perspectives and strong opinions. Under the Influence kicked things off with a private gathering of our area’s top interior designers and the Anderson Tuftex team to talk national trends and what is influencing regional design. Then we opened the doors for Design in Action, a public soirée where five of our area’s top designers shared their flat lays, hot takes, and personal style with design professionals and enthusiasts alike.
Yes, we’re a flooring store. But there’s a reason “Design Center” is in our name. We see an opportunity to do more with our surface expertise, connect our design community, and give local talent a place to shine. This was a little of all three.
A special thank-you to our spectacular featured designers: Dana Lacuesta Traverse City Interior Designer, Wendy Buhr (+ Alyssa!) Ella's + Ella’s Interiors, Erica Murdock , Tana Povolo Confluence Interiors, and Kristen Myers KM_Enterprise. They impress us with their talent and showed up with strong opinions and inspiring style. Exactly our kind of people.
Thank you to our sponsors Anderson Tuftex and Sherwin-Williams, Traverse City Design Week, our Bay View crew, and everyone who joined us. And to laura flavin and SupremeBarService for making good taste a very literal part of the evening.
Stay tuned for our next design-forward showroom event. We’re just getting started.
