DEPARTURES HAS ARRIVED

When Departures Magazine wanted a forecast of the best fabrics and papers in the world of interior design, they asked me to seek out the latest and greatest.

This special design issue is filled with pages exploring where design is going, who's on the go-to list to watch, what is new and worth having a looking at. Take a peek.
