American design has always been shaped by the exchange of ideas, materials, craftsmanship, and culture from around the world. At 4:00 pm, join Traditional Home editor Krissa Rossbund, Sourcing Africa founder and product designer Bruce MacDonald, designers Ellie Christopher and Brooke Kelley, and designer and Chaddock's newest furniture partner Allison Paladino for a panel exploring how global inspiration informs a distinctly American point of view — one that feels contemporary, personal, and rooted in place. The conversation moves from artisans and time-honored techniques discovered abroad to the influence of hospitality, and how the spaces we create stateside can borrow from the warmth and ritual found in hotels, restaurants, and homes around the world. Travel and culture broaden the visual language of design; thoughtful interpretation, not imitation, is what allows those influences to shine.
At 5:00, pour a cocktail and join Allison for a personal walk through the collection, room by room, in her own words: French Art Deco pulled into the present with a cleaner, quieter hand; quartersawn oak with cerused finishes set in contrast against maple; a palette lifted straight from the Canary Islands — whitewashed walls, volcanic black, and a green that reads more cheerful than anyone expects. Live music, a signature cocktail, and open doors for everyone at Market.
