A Sneak Peek at SANDOW Design Group’s NeoCon Lounge and Upcoming DIFFA Pride Auction <\/h1>\n\n\n\n

SANDOW Design Group is making a scene at NeoCon! As the A&D community readies for the upcoming festivities at theMART in Chicago, we’re putting the finishing touches on DesignScene by Sandow, a must-see gathering space on floor 3 with plenty of room to unwind, talk design, and lean into the action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pop in to see Interior Design<\/em>\u2019s ShowDaily newspaper being produced live (and drop off new product materials!), catch a glimpse of ongoing industry roundtables with design leaders, witness the video team bring DesignTV by SANDOW segments to life in the film studio, or kick back and relax with a complimentary coffee thanks to Miele<\/a>. A replay of Interior Design<\/em>\u2019s HiP Awards<\/a> ceremony also will be featured on various screens throughout, in case you miss the live event Sunday evening. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But that’s not all. Interior Design<\/em> will be celebrating Pride Month with a colorful\u2014and meaningful\u2014installation created by LightArt<\/a> and 3form<\/a> for an auction to benefit the Design Industry Foundation Fighting AIDS, which kicks off Monday, June 13 and runs through 12pm CT on June 15. Auction items from major brands will be on view in the gallery-like space within DesignScene and bids can be made online<\/a>. Proceeds will benefit the local Chicago chapter of DIFFA, which grants funds to organizations providing treatment, education, and assistance for people impacted by HIV\/AIDS, homelessness, hunger, and mental health issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, the Sustainability Lab by Metropolis<\/a> also is back by popular demand showcasing new innovations and conducting free educational programming. Toast with our good friends at Material Bank<\/a> who will join in the festivities by hosting a Happy Hour Tuesday, June 14 at 4pm CT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
