Curated by industry veteran Julie Smith Vincenti, FIRST LOOK vignettes encompass product and purpose, incorporating key cultural influences that easily transition into the consumer’s home. Fresh, functional and on-point, FIRST LOOK is an inspiring product journey designed to help you build your business.

Bonus: In LIGHTS FANTASTIC, fanciful fixtures; utilitarian portables; architectural lines and sculptural forms; and modern-day elegance shine brightly.
