I heart New York. The only thing better than going to New York is going for design inspiration. Earlier this week the Big Apple was host to ICFF (International Contemporary Furniture Fair) and Blogfest 2013, which included a tour of Kips Bay Show House. Inspiration trifecta!

Their Alt class was so intriguing that I asked for a followup interview so I could share their insights with you. Here are some Q&A from our interview: Continue reading
