KITCHEN DESIGN & EPICUREAN EVENT OF THE SEASON

         DESIGN                                WINE                                DINE

October 19, 20, 21, 2010
San Francisco Design Center
Galleria Atrium
101 Henry Adams Street
San Franciso, CA

This fall, the SFDC will celebrate the center of every home, the kitchen. It’s become the new American living room, the social heart of the home where families and friends gather to nurture and celebrate their relationships.

Christopher Peacock Home (Christopher Peacock, in partnership with House Beautiful, built the 2008 Kitchen of the Year in Rockefeller Plaza and built the kitchen for Oprah’s television stage set in 2009.) will build out a fully functioning kitchen in the Galleria Atrium. Join us and experience the ways kitchens can be made more personal, comfortable and technologically advanced – from exquisite custom cabinetry, to beautiful tile countertops and backsplash, to cutting-edge appliances and high-tech home control systems.

The kitchen will be surrounded by outdoor dining and living spaces featuring beautiful and provocative custom furnishings, flooring, fine art, and antiques. There will be inspiring kitchen design keynotes and seminars by renowned designers along with cooking demonstrations with celebrity chefs, Master chef dinners with wine pairings, Designer and chef competitions and Festive cocktail receptions - all in an entertaining and interactive forum.

Proceeds from the event will provide scholarships to Bay Area interior design students. Scholarships will be awarded through the Design Trade Resources Association, a showroom-based trade organization comprised of San Francisco Design District showrooms.
