Fairfield County Antique & Design Center – Opening Reception to Krista Fox’s Designer Showcase & Sip & Shop
Thursday, October 27 at 6 PM – 9 PM
Fairfield County Antique & Design Center
19 Willard Rd, Norwalk, Connecticut 06851
The opening reception of a designer showcase by Krista Fox at Fairfield County Antique and Design Center. This opening will be paired with a Sip & Shop.
Following both a degree in Interior Design Krista earned from Miami University of Ohio and her second degree from the School of Art Institute of Chicago in Interior Architecture, Krista moved from the midwest with the intent to gain work experience with some of the best interior designers in New York City. After eight years as a Senior Designer with design masters such as John Saladino and Victoria Hagan, Krista’s career path naturally led her to gravitate toward a high level of taste and client expectation that has grown into a thriving residential interiors firm. Voted one of Connecticut Cottages and Gardens Magazine’s “Best” in 2008, Krista was able to take that degree of professionalism combined with her talent with colors, materials, scale, and creativity, and turn it into a firm based on solid design principles…with the addition of the unexpected. Since the firm’s establishment in 1994, the focus has always been the “translation” of a client’s wants and needs into a space that ultimately works for and inspires them.
The designer showcase is a space in Fairfield County Antique and Design Center transformed by distinguished interior designers into an exhibition of antiques, fine furnishings, and exquisite décor. These select designers utilize all that Fairfield County Antique and Design Center and its dealers have to offer, allowing their vignette to come to life. The showcase of each designer’s take on a room allows us to appreciate their unique vision and taste, offering varied perspectives and a fresh take on the art of staging interior spaces.
