At the recent Exchange in New York City, APDF hosted a 25th birthday party. The evening kicked-off with a reception hosted by APDF Member Wallace Church (Rob Wallace and Stan Church) at their beautiful studio’s outdoor porch and garden.
The birthday bash continued at nearby Top of the Tower restaurant, and began with a fun and interactive “dating game” where contestants tried to convince our “design celebrity dates” that they were the best choice!
Our “dates” included:
–Linda Tischler, Senior Writer of Fast Company (won by Gavin Kelly, Artefact, Seattle)
–Tucker Viemeister, Lab Chief, LAB at Rockwell Group (won by Robin Tooms, Savage, Houston)
–Bill Moggridge, Director, Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum (won by Drew Degentesh, Daedalus, Pittsburgh)
