Quick-Step Selected For Prestigious Arts District Design Lab
Dallas, TX – June 3, 2015 – Quick-Step flooring has recently been selected as the flooring of choice for a new design lab opening in the prestigious Wynwood Arts District of Miami, Florida. The new Wynwood Design Lab will host interior designers, high-end retailers, key hospitality purchasing agents, art collectors, bloggers, and key media who are wanting to see the newest and most innovative products for the home and hospitality industries in a lifestyle setting. Quick-Step will be installed throughout the majority of the new facility, serving as the design foundation of the space. Grand opening of the new Wynwood Design Lab is slated for September 2015.
Wynwood Arts District, Miami Florida
Vogue magazine listed the Wynwood area of Miami, Florida as one of the “15 coolest neighborhoods in the world.” Nestled within this neighborhood is the Wynwood Arts District, one of the largest and most prominent creative communities in the United States. Numerous art complexes, galleries, performing art spaces, restaurants, cafes, and other creative businesses are located here — and Wynwood is known as a shopping mecca for Hollywood’s A-list.
The New Wynwood Design Lab
The New Wynwood Design Lab is co-owned by former award-winning interior design professional Christi Tasker. Christi is well-known in the world of interior design and highly-respected for her expertise in promoting the latest and greatest design ideas and trends throughout the home interiors community. She is a key player in some of North America’s most important home and shelter professional gatherings, such as the High Point Furniture Market, Las Vegas Market, AmericasMart Atlanta, Maison Objet Paris, and Maison Objet Americas among others.
With a premium location in the heart of the world’s leading Art District of modernism and style, the Wynwood Design Lab will only feature brands from high profile American manufacturers, well-known artists, or major European brands that want a strong luxury brand presence in the U.S.A.
To even be considered for inclusion in the Wynwood Design Lab, products must be well-designed home furnishings, unique appliances, original art, the latest technology solutions, high quality textiles, creative giftware, artistic tile, innovative custom building products, or one-of-a-kind accessories – all which can be sold in or to the luxury market.
What Is A “Lifestyle Studio”?
A shopping experience well-known in the world of high-end furnishings and luxury interior design is the “Lifestyle Studio”. Rather than presenting products in a traditional retail store manner, the Lifestyle Studio concept showcases products as part of the professional interior design of an overall space. So buyers experience products in a more natural high-end design setting.
Another plus is that the well-designed Lifestyle Studio becomes a sought after venue for high-end special events, exposing the products to an even wider audience.
Quick-Step’s inclusion as the flooring of choice in the Wynwood Design Lab’s Lifestyle Studio is incredible exposure for the Quick-Step brand!
