Las Vegas Design Center Launches Tree Decorating C
Las Vegas, NV, November 22, 2006--Who better to decorate for the holidays than expert designers at Las Vegas Design Center at World Market Center
In the spirit of the holiday season, Victor Pedraz, director of Las Vegas Design Center at World Market Center, has organized the Design Center’s first-ever tree decorating contest. The trees are being decorated by several Las Vegas Design Center showrooms and their respective designers. Participating showrooms include Janet Yonaty, Revco, Brown Jordan, Padma’s Plantation, Ariel, Pacific Rim, Stephan John and JBS Environments.
“We have paired each showroom with the designer of their choice,” said Pedraz who added that designers are creating tributes for Christmas, Chanukah and Kwanzaa. Decorated trees will be showcased in World Market Center’s atrium.
Las Vegas Design Center invites the general public to visit the atrium of Building A from Thursday, December 7 through Friday, December 15, when the trees will be on display. Visitors are able to place a silent bid on the holiday trees during the time they are on display. At noon on December 15, the auction will close and winners will be notified by telephone that day. All proceeds from the silent auction will benefit the local charities selected by each of the LVDC showrooms.
Aaron Diamond, showroom manager and design director for Pacific Rim, will be decorating a white flock, peacock-themed tree in silver, blue, gold and chartreuse green. “This is a great way to decorate World Market Center’s atrium and to show off our diversity in design at the same time,” Diamond said. “As designers we have a broad range of holiday designs beyond the traditional red and gold.” Pacific Rim has selected a local women’s shelter as the beneficiary of the silent auction proceeds for their tree.
Designer Janet Yonaty plans to decorate her showroom’s tree with decorative tassels from her company’s collection. “The holidays are an incredible time and a time for celebration,” said Yonaty, who added that she plans to decorate her tree for both Christmas and Chanukah, with silent auction proceeds benefiting a children’s charity. “I’m very happy and excited about the tree decorating event, which will recognize the incredible design presence at Las Vegas Design Center,” she said.
