Architectural Digest Home Design Show 2011


The annual Architectural Digest Home Design Show opened to huge crowds of design fans and homeowners at New York’s Pier 94. Maybe after a year of restraint and moderation, people were looking forward to some design indulgence. The four day extravaganza hosted over 300 vendors, design seminars from industry professionals as well as culinary demonstrations and book signings.
One of the standouts is Ercole Home from Brooklyn, New York. They combined two rich materials – stained oak wood and glass mosaics – and created a sophisticated line of cabinetry. Founder and artist, Ornella Pisano, takes her inspiration from her mosaic sculptures. Their furniture line includes buffets, credenzas, bar cabinets, and tables as well as mirrors and lighting. The variety of colors of the glass mosaics provides a diverse selection and they can even customize a furniture piece with a unique mosaic design.
