NEWS MATERIAL CONNEXION Littman Brands and Interior Design magazine hosted their first annual Immersive Ideation Think Tank in New York at Material ConneXion Library
With the goal of stimulating continued creativity, inspiration and great design, Littman Brands Contract and Interior Design magazine recently hosted an Immersive Ideation Think Tank on creative lighting design, solutions and innovation for a select group of designers who are at the top of their game and specialize in unique lighting installations. The event was held in New York, at the world headquarters of Sandow Media – home to Interior Design, Culture + Commerce, Luxe Interiors + Design, Worth, MediaJet, ThinkLab and Material ConneXion. Included in the intimate scheduled sessions was a tour of Material ConneXion Library, the world’s leading materials library and consultancy. The library staffs a global team of material scientists and experts who help creatives across industries, from fashion to architecture to automotive. In the spirit of thinking outside of the norm, our director of custom and design, Nicolas Baldoni, visited Material ConneXion a month prior to the event and selected a few interesting materials from the library to work with at our custom manufacturing facility. He presented his concepts to the think-tank guests. Mood boards and unique lighting designs were shown as examples of what Littman Brands’ custom division can do with just a touch of inspiration from these remarkable materials. Baldoni even had a working visual test-lab with various lighting options and techniques demonstrated. Inside the Material ConneXions Library.
Participants walked away with a fresh sense of purpose and perspective, ready to collaborate and bring new and remarkable designs to the world. They also learned even more about Littman Brands services, design capabilities and custom manufacturing operations.
