The great news just keeps coming! My newest Allison Paladino Collection for E.J. Victor gallery has opened in Coral Gables, Florida at Décor House Furniture, during the gala opening of Décor House’s new design center and showroom last month.

The South Florida social schedule is always a whirlwind of excitement during December, but this was a party to remember! Co-sponsored by Décor House Furniture and Ferguson Bath, Kitchen and Lighting Gallery, it rained like cats and dogs the night of the opening, but the weather did nothing to dampen the spirits of the more than 500 special guests who enjoyed the sneak peak at the new space, great music and champagne. It was a wonderful opportunity for me to catch up with many of my good friends in the design community and get personal feedback on my furniture designs.

Owner Pepe Rodriguez is rightfully proud of the new space and was just as excited about the turnout for the event. Plus, he said he expects my soft modern furniture designs to really resonate with Décor House’s design-conscious customers.

I’m honored by his confidence and thrilled to have a new venue for everyone to see my work, particularly in such a fabulous store. Whether you’re in the business or just love great design, Décor House is well worth a visit. Find it at 4119 Ponce de Leon Blvd., Coral Gables, FL 33146, 305-448-6200.

This summer, all of us at APIDC were extremely proud to be nominated for such a prestigious award in the Interior Design category!

Allison and the banner outside of Fine Art Lamps! A very exciting time!

Here is Allison showing the watch battery size dim-able LED bulb. “It was fun showing it to customers to see if they could figure out what it was!!! It is hard to believe that this tiny little bit can illuminate the glass hand cut dichroic glass so beautifully and at the same time be practical to light a space! Because LED’s are fairly new in such a decorative fixtures it really is ground breaking!”

Allison’s new lighting fixture was inspired by her love for jewelry and exotic materials like rock crystal and quartz and the Art Deco period!

In addition to her new line with Fine Art Lamps, Allison continued to wow the crowds with a stunning new showcase in the EJ Victor Showroom.

All of us here at EJ Victor could not be happier to welcome such a creative talent, Kelly Wearstler to the family!

May 12, 2015 was a very proud day Allison got to share with her parents! Having her new collection front and center at the Fine Art Lamps space in Miami Florida just off the coat tails of the initial launch at the spring furniture shows in Milan Italy and High Point North Carolina, was an incredible feeling!

“I could have never done this collection without the creative and talented force at Fine Art lamps including Frank Englesby, the head of the glass department. This man also brought my vision of rock crystal in glass a reality! Way to go Frank as well as Ian Thorton, head of design too!”

Allison also shared this moment with some of her fellow colleagues from the Design Center of the Americas: left to right Gary and Melissa from John Rosselli, AP and Andrew from Carriage House.

Market in High Point, NC is always an exciting time of year, but this Fall we had plenty of reason to celebrate! Many new furniture introductions were launched including the David dining arm chair featuring fabulous ribbed chrome details on the back where the arm wraps around the chair, on the arm itself and polished chrome ferrule on the foot! Also introduced was the JJ console in chrome, a walnut shelf with drawers and glass just to name a few.

Allison and her staff also celebrated with EJ Victor in honor of their 25th anniversary along with the introduction of the Kate Spade Collection sponsored by the Hearst Group, Saturday October 17th.

Another successful season with Fine Art Lamps is in the books as well! This season Allison Paladino introduced 8 new pieces to her line!

The artisans of Fine Art Lamps did such a fabulous job of achieving her vision! They truly captured the impeccable craftsmanship through the beautiful antique silver, gold and bronze frames as well as the organic feel of the cut glass that looks like natural quartz.

Fine Art Lamps also celebrated the evening with a party in honor of their 75th Anniversary!

Both Allison and her colleague Libby Langdon viewed for the first time Fine Art Lamps showroom in High Point NC with the reception area now lined with all of Allison’s lighting Collection!

“It was very exciting to see before the market started my lighting collection lining the hall and reception area of Fine Art Lamps! We also placed in the reception area some furniture pieces from my collection with EJ Victor. Around the corner walks my pal Libby which I did get a fist pump of approval from! Thanks Libby!” says a very excited and grateful Paladino!
