10.20.09 | New York, NY| Please join us for wine and hors d'oeuvres and a talk by the Dutch designer Gilian Schrofer at the Trespa Design Centre, next Thursday Oct. 22, at 6pm. Many of you know Gilian Schrofer's work from Concrete, the Dutch firm behind such memorable interiors projects as the Supper club in Rome, Amsterdam's Lairesse Pharmacy, and London's Laundry Industry Fashion.

More recently, Gilian has formed the new design firm, Concern, which is designing interiors for the new Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, among others. About 50 of the firm's models are installed at Trespa's Soho space, as the exhibition Models of Concern, which is making its North American premiere now at the Trespa Design Centre. The show premiered at the Stedelijk, and also at the Hong Kong Design Centre.

The talk, "The Reason for Scale Models," will begin just after 6pm next Thursday. Please RSVP if you plan to come.
