Event Recap: Green Design Tour

Last week, Lori Dennis, author of Green Interior Design, gave a designer tour of DCOTA’s green showrooms and lines including Donghia, Creation Baumann, Gaggenau, Caesarstone and Cisco Brothers.

”It was a fabulous surprise that so many hip, Southern Florida designers showed up to see the latest in glamorous green products at the DCOTA. One of the most shocking attendees was Susan Cozzi who is one of the designers in my “Favorite Green Designers” chapter.”



The tour entailed spending half an hour in the showroom learning about the green products it offers. Every company had a different outlook on sustainability including care for the environment, human health and fair treatment of employees.

“Each showroom was selected because I featured information about their products in my book. I believe in the things that they sell for their beauty, durability and responsible corporate behavior,” said Dennis. “It's always nice to be in a cooperative environment where information is exchanged freely - and Floridians are just really nice!”
