On Friday, November 18 at 1:00pm, Dakota Jackson, American furniture designer and designer-in-residence for Steinway & Sons, will deliver his Keynote presentation, “Hearing Light... Seeing Sound: Designing with All Our Senses.” He will discuss the magic of full sensory engagement in designing spaces. Dakota Jackson should know about magic – he is actually a classically trained magician himself! Saturday’s special guest is Kathryn M. Ireland, a preeminent British interior designer known for her worldly and chic-without-trying style. She will make a special appearance from 2 - 3pm. She has a wealth of experience stemming from her legendary “sympathetic restorations” of landmark architectural houses and hotels, as well as exquisite homes for members of the Hollywood elite like Steve Martin, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Drew Barrymore. A reception will follow both guests, as well as a book signing for Kathryn M. Ireland, who has written five best-selling books on design.
