Thanks to everyone who came out to Hejfina on Friday night. What a great turnout! The boutique's owner, Heiji Choy Black, gave us all a warm welcome and introduced the shop's new furniture line from Atlantico (the only shop in Illinois to carry Atlantico, according to the website).

Following some browsing, mingling, and wine 'n cheese (compliments of Kafka Wine and Hot Chocolate), a packed room listened on as Helen Maria Nugent from the Art Institute discussed her expectations for the future of design classics (Janel took great notes and we'll hear more about this tomorrow!):

Thanks, everyone (especially Heiji, Ali, Helen Maria, Design Boner, Palla Palla, and the Prairie Mod Squad), for a lovely evening of design to kick off Spring!
