What Designers Want BY JANE DAGMI

hile temperatures are soaring over 100 in Vegas, that can’t stop a determined group of interior designers and tastemakers from combing the World Market Center for the hottest home furnishings for present and future projects. Here’s what 10 of the design-obsessed are hoping to find.
“I attend most of the design markets in the U.S. and some abroad. Since much of what I see can be repetitive, I am keenly aware of what’s fresh and exciting. I am always on the lookout for new, emerging designers, vendors, products and trends across all product categories. Going to market can be like rummaging through a very large and beautiful flea market -- most of the product may not be for you, but when you find that perfect gem among the ordinary you feel like you have struck design gold. For me, the thrill of the hunt is the most exciting.” Jackie Von Tobel, Designer / Author - Las Vegas, NV
