All About Jonathan Adler
Since receiving his first order for pottery from Barneys New York sixteen years ago, Jonathan Adler’s eponymous company has grown to become an internationally recognized home and gift oriented lifestyle brand offering decorative objet, tabletop collections, bedding, bath accessories, candles, furniture, rugs, pillows and lighting. Jonathan Adler is known for a design aesthetic which pairs modernist forms with bold colors and groovy graphics. The company motto, “If your heirs won’t fight over it, we won’t make it”, reflects Jonathan’s commitment to impeccable craftsmanship and panache.

Additionally, Jonathan Adler is one of the country’s leading interior designers, working on luxury residential projects as well as large-scale commercial projects, including the celebrity hot spot Parker Palm Springs hotel.
In 2009, Jonathan Adler partnered with Barbie® to design the retro-glam and girl-chic interior for the “real” Malibu Dream House in celebration of Barbie’s® 50th Anniversary. Jonathan Adler’s partnership with Barbie® will continue with the introduction of a capsule collection product line and Jonathan Adler doll in Fall 2009. Jonathan Adler also partnered with the distinguished luxury brand, Godiva Chocolatier®, to design a decadent chocolate inspired Valentines Day suite in New York City.

I didn't know Jonathan Adler was a potter. My respect for him increases several notches.

What happened to the Chicago Design Meetup? There are hundreds of people, including little ol' me, who joined but there has only been one meet up... I'm sure people would be open to coordinating if the option was provided.
Just my two cents.

Hi Veronica,
We actually did several meetups in Chicago last year, not just one. I'm happy to hear that you are still interested in attending - we may bring them back at some point in the future!

Thanks, Janel. My apologies -- I did see three meet ups in 2008.
Hopefully you guys will bring them back.

Yes, there's always a wrap-up post--it usually goes on in the e-mail first then ends up on the site later.
