IFDA NY Rising Stars of Design 2024

IFDA began the Rising Stars Event Program as a way to support the new talent in our industry. We wanted promote our dedication to education and the future of our industry. IFDA’s mission through its programs and services is to enhance the professionalism and stature of the industry worldwide. Honoring the new talent and promoting their businesses, enveloping them into the IFDA community is an integral part of enhancing public knowledge of the products and services offered by our colleagues.
Wednesday, September 18th at 5:30 pm
The Scalamandré Showroom
979 Third Ave. Suite 1002

Our Master of Ceremonies:

Lorraine Lang, Executive Vice President of Design, Scalamandré

Lorraine Lang’s long-time passion for textiles blossomed after studying Fine Art Painting both in New York and Paris. This made for a smooth transition into textile studies at a time when designs were created by painting them. Her love for classical patterns, in both prints and wovens, lead her to the door of the Scalamandré mill in Long Island City. She was mentored by Adriana Bitter, the owner of Scalamandré in creating and producing prints, wallpapers and wovens.

Life’s changes brought Ms. Lang to Old World Weavers, shortly after Stark Carpet bought the company from Iris Apfel and Carl Apfel.

When the Renzo family merged Scalamandré with Old World Weavers, Lorraine Lang was brought full circle to her current role as VP of Design for the Scalamandré brands

 

IFDA NY Gratefully Thanks our Event Host Scalamandré
