BOH and Regina Andrew Detroit dine on creativity

On October 8, Regina Andrew Detroit co-founders James Andrew Slaven and Carla Regina Zajac co-hosted an unforgettable evening in New York City’s West Village alongside Business of Home editor in chief Kaitlin Petersen and market editor Caroline Biggs. The two brands invited an exclusive group of interior designers to The Golden Swan for an evening of delicious food, design inspiration and candid conversation about the latest happenings in the industry.

“It was such a delight to host this magical evening with the Regina Andrew team,” said Petersen. “Over a delicious meal, the table’s dialogue covered everything from the shows we’re bingeing this season to thoughtful discussions about where the design industry is headed. These kinds of off-the-record exchanges are a wonderful springboard for new connections, as well as fresh ideas and inspiration.”

“Thanks to Kaitlin and the entire BOH team for helping gather such an inspiring group of designers,” said Slaven. “Getting to spend time with folks like this helps feed our soul of creativity and design.”

“It’s always a special opportunity to share time with such a talented and diverse group of designers and business owners,” said Regina Andrew Detroit chief marketing officer Neil MacKenzie. “The intimate setting helps provide us with perspective and insights to create things that support each other.”
