f course flying all the way over to Valencia, Spain wasn't all work...

The 60th Anniversary Andreu World Sales Convention took place during Las Fallas de Velencia, a traditional celebration held in commemoration of Saint Joseph.  Falles is the word used to describe both the celebration and the monuments burnt during the celebration.

Fireworks went off in the afternoon and evenings several days leading up to La Crema, the final day of burning.  

No better way to take in the sights of modern day Valencia than through the old riverbed of the now a dry river Turia... Parque Gulliver, El Palau de la Musica, and Santiago Calatrava's LaCiudad de las Artes y las Ciencias.  

Ending on a high note, Cheers! to new friendships with my Andreu World familia.  See you again soon! ... they did say "next time you come" a few times ;-)

Building upon a collection of notable alliances in the arts, Skyline Design is expanding the Digital Glass Portfolio to include work by the artist Susan Hable Smith from the design studio Hable Construction. Feathers, Seagrass, and Bulbs are three new images based on a series of watercolors inspired by her investigations into the mystery, essence, and presence of the natural world.

The Portfolio offers a selection of images for large format digital printing on glass using proprietary etching techniques.

With its ASTTM Digital Glass Printing technology, Skyline Design leads the field in uniting aesthetic sensibilities with innovative industrial production. Produced on low-iron, PPG Starphire® tempered glass, images can be produced with translucent AST etch or AST III Vitracolor® back paint (for wall cladding). 

All patterns are available in sizes up to 60” x 120” and in all standard glass thicknesses. Customization is available.

Elliott Workgroup's Parkite project located on Main Street in Park City is a luxurious texture living experience. Using the Piastra pattern from Soelberg in the lobby, individual unit entries and accent walls in the hallways create an unforgettable first impression.

Project designed by Dallas Davis and Tricia Janes of Elliott Workgroup.

Contact me for more information about the Piastra or any other products from Soelberg.

A translucent warp allows the tonal color combinations to shine and provides a subtle glimmer to the floor. See the entire Flow collection from BOLON including the new Bolon Studio shape - Scale.

Flow Tide

Flow features two designs – Shaded and Solid. In Shaded, choose from Coral, Stream, Alga or Shell and in Solid, from Pearl, Shore or Tide. The collection is available as rolls and tiles as well as in Bolon Studio – where it is our first collection to use a new tile shape we’ve called Scale. Soft and rounded, the organic design has a form reflecting the natural, glistening beauty within the ocean. To further enhance the collections aesthetic versatility, every article in the collection can be combined beautifully without adhering to strict pattern based laying or compromising design integrity.

Look beyond appearances and further beneath its hypnotic surface and Flow offers an exciting new innovation. The bottom layer of the collections backing is made of recycled material from our own onsite recycling plant – a process that results in the end product compromising up to 33% recycled material. In addition, like every other Bolon collection, Flow is phthalate free.

Wonderful new photography of product and installations all at your fingertips in this new catalog.  I will be delivering one to you soon!
