Allison Paladino at High Point Market 2015

Market in High Point, NC, is always an exciting time of year, but this Fall we had plenty of reasons to celebrate! Many new furniture introductions were launched, including the David dining armchair featuring fabulous ribbed chrome details on the back where the arm wraps around the chair, on the arm itself, and a 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 High Point Market, Allison Paladino, a leading Palm Beach Gardens interior designer, introduced eight new lighting 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 the 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 that my lighting collection was 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, whom I did get a fist pump of approval from! Thanks, Libby!” says a very excited and grateful Paladino!

Allison Paladino Interior Design is in Growth Mode

South Florida luxury interior design

Good news to report! While signs of a newly percolating economy and revitalized housing market remain elusive for many, our South Florida interior design firm, Allison Paladino Interior Design, continues to grow. We’re expanding our executive team and have added a new design position to meet the increasing demand for our Palm Beach–area interior design services.

Here’s the scoop: Zita Rudd who has served as senior designer for the past five years has been promoted to the position of Junior Partner of Allison Paladino Interior Design.

As many of you know, Zita—who emigrated to the U.S. from her native Holland as a teenager—is something of an American success story. She was born and raised in Amsterdam and relocated here at the age of 14, literally knowing how to say two words in English: hello and goodbye. A hard worker, she joined my firm following graduation from the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale, and her perseverance and drive were apparent early on.

“I’m a multi-tasker, and there are so many working parts to a successful project that there’s always something new and exciting to deal with,” Ziti says. “There’s never a dull moment around here, and I take great pride in working for this company. Allison challenges me every day, and she’s given me a great opportunity. She’s taught me what it means to make clients’ dreams come true.”

(O.k., I’m blushing).

Seriously, I’m incredibly excited about Zita’s more senior role moving forward. Over the past five years, she has grown into an integral and invaluable member of our team. Talented, efficient, and personable, she has proven herself capable of assuming increased responsibilities, and she’s earned this new title.

Our client roster continues to grow, with multiple projects underway throughout Palm Beach Gardens, West Palm Beach, Jupiter, and the greater South Florida luxury interior design market, as well as in New York. The Allison Paladino team is rising to the challenge, and we look forward to bringing elevated, timeless design to homes across the region.
