| Article | NEW YORK—This summer, the Architectural Systems Inc. (ASI) Chelsea Design Center showroom was fit to burst with designers, architects and contractors at its Pop the Cork! event to honor the release of products such as Hardwood Flooring IV. Pop the Cork!’s namesake comes from the March debut of ASI cork flooring product. On its third event, the product launch/house party let members of the architecture and design community network and inspire one another in a casual environment. Products in the Hardwood Flooring IV collection follow the recent trend for both conventional and textured hardwoods (FCNews Aug.31/Sept. 7), said Nancy Jackson, president. The Classic line is smooth, while the Vintage-Classic line features textured and weathered looks. Both collections have an 8-coat finish for durability in high traffic areas and are available in a total of 12 colors from light and fresh oak natural to dark and sculpted maple. In addition, Hardwood Flooring IV is Lacey and CARB compliant. ASI members appreciated the opportunity to network and learn in a non-conventional setting. Daniel Barteluce, principal of Barteluce Architects and Associates, said, “Coming to the ASI showroom is a great source of inspiration for architects and designers, exposing them to the latest materials and trends in the marketplace. The Pop the Cork! events are a lot of fun and very helpful in learning what others are doing in a relaxed, social atmosphere.” For more information about ASI, call 646.460.8252. |
