I want to share a few scenes from BlogTourNYC trip. If you want the experiences from the point of view of the attending bloggers, visit the Modenus page to link to each of their sites and follow their posts. I am going to share a slightly different perspective, that of correspondent and veteran BlogTour Blogger who followed the crew around with an eye for more than just what was on the action packed agenda…. so get ready for an abbreviated whirlwind visual stroll through BlogTourNYC:
New York Here I Come! I am packing my bag to go cover the Modenus BlogTour crew as they experience a carefully curated inside look at design in NYC. This international group is in for an amazing time. Modenus’ Veronika Miller has arranged for the group to attend the Architectural Digest Show, mingle with New York blogger stars over Marys and Mimosas, have a private residential tour sponsored by Corcoran Real Estate, meet Vincente Wolf, visit other offices and showrooms, go on a Brooklyn design tour, a nighttime boat tour around Manhattan and so much more. Veronika knows how to show people a city. I will be joining as Modenus correspondent, capturing beauty, moments, local design resources and design trends. Excited to get to this fabulous city- Follow #BlogTourNYC on twitter for updates from the bloggers~

Philippe Grohe, head of Axor/Hansgrohe SE, on what makes design good:
”For me personally, good design should have a notion of timelessness. A well-designed object is able to trigger an emotional response through aesthetics, while, at the same time, fulfilling its function. Ideally, it should also integrate symbolic content and present a technological innovation. Good design, and this is the pretense we follow with the Axor brand, should always change our awareness for what we are doing when we use a product. A well-designed bathroom fixture, for example, should first and foremost clean our skin, then it should produce an emotional response, and finally, it should leave us with the conscious experience that water is a valuable resource. Our newest collaboration with Philippe Starck, Axor Starck Organic, embodies this pretense very well.”
