#bosdesignmarket

The Boston Design Center will open its doors next week for Boston Design Market. The BDC will be busy all week, but the majority of the action will take place October 1 and 2. Fifty showrooms will be hosting product launches, panel discussions, open-houses, workshops, trunk shows, pop-up book shops, and more. It’s a great week to learn what’s new and connect with others in the design community.

New England Home is excited to be a part of the week and we will be involved in a variety of events. Here is the line-up—we look forward to seeing you there!
