Urban Archaeology Party- Merchandise Mart, Chicago

A perk of being a designer who uses the Merchandise Mart as a resource is being invited to the parties! Last week Steve and I had the opportunity to join our friends, Larry Deutsch and Bill Parker, for cocktails and hors d’oeuvres at the Urban Archaeology showroom in the Lux Home area of the Mart.
I have specified and purchased UA tile, fixtures, accessories and lighting for many clients over the years. Their unique offerings, detailed designs and product quality make me a loyal customer.
