design & innovation!

Looking for a special piece? A design of your own? For a certain room? To function in a particular way? To be totally unique to you? Then come to our shows, meet our talented exhibitors, see their work and talk to them about creating a piece just for you!



This wonderful piece was designed and handcrafted by Mike McCarthy of MH Design in McHenry, IL. Made of oak & cotton webbing it so elegant and comfortable you just might rock yourself into zen-land - I know - I sat in it at our Gallery Night/Day event in Milwaukee a few weeks ago!
