Today's Day 2 of DCOTA's International Market...

...so hurry on down to the DCOTA for what promises to be a fascinating day devoted to custom furnishings. And here's what lies ahead for the final day of the series, August 9.

The final day of the DCOTA's International Design series is August 9, and it'll give you everything you want to know about International Trends in Modern Kitchen Design.

The 11am keynotes will explore the latest ideas in kitchen design from around the world including planning, materials, appliances and lighting with Mick Ricereto, noted international interior and product designer.


Working with companies such as Kohler, Amerock, Norwell, Masterbrand and more, Mick specializes in international showroom development for SieMatic Moebelwerke.
The presentation will be followed by a Launch Party for SieMatic’s new BeauxArts.02 line, pictured above.
This collection is a redefined design that includes new elements and proportions, in addition to new materials, colors, and door styles. These new elements lend a more linear and lighter appearance while special details add a unique elegance. The symmetry – the repetition of forms, colors and materials – make for an ensemble of placid balance. The philosophy of BeauxArts is characterized by the segmented functional areas – a complete departure of the traditional kitchen layout – which then influences the overall interior design.
Culinary Delights and BeauxArts.02 launch party to follow at SieMatic, Suite C-336
