'Take A Seat' Project

Connie Kolman of Kolman Artisan Glass and Allison Iantosca of F. H. Perry are pleased to announce their partnership for IFDA's New England 'Take A Seat' project. The two talented businesswomen will be working together, combining their design and artistic abilities to create a one-of-a-kind Lucite chair to benefit the Women’s Institute of Housing & Economic Development.

 

'Take A Seat' is an ongoing project of the International Furnishings and Design Association (IFDA). The project promotes talent within the design community and in 2015, IFDA chapters are working together to launch local exhibitions in 8 cities. Proceeds from each auction will benefit local charities and continued IFDA chapter development. In addition to New England the other cities participating this year include, New York, Washington DC, Philadelphia, Minneapolis, Scottsdale, Palm Beach and San Francisco.
