What better way to celebrate the holidays than with more local fresh ideas and faces in architecture and design. Right on the heels of lively November event at Duravit, we bring you the last IDNY meetup of 2009 at Knoll featuring design talks by:

- Jason Horvath and Bill Hilgendorf of Brooklyn-based Uhuru Design
- Andre Kikoski of Andre Kikoski Architect

This year it doesn't matter if you've been naughty or nice because on December 10th because EVERYONE has a chance to walk away with a stellar gift. Drop your business card in the fishbowl at the front to win one of Knoll's brand new Generation Chairs! Uhuru Design and Designer Pages are playing Secret Santa too!

And this just in, Designer Pages has decided to launch a holiday pop-up shop with brand new IDNY totes and t-shirts! Totes and t-shirts will run for $15 each or as a $25 combo if you buy both

As always, liquor and beer courtesy of Veev and Abita Beer!

Have something to say? Share your impressions with Designer Pages and the rest of the IDNY meetup community by tweeting under the hashtag #idny.

We have some ideas in the works for helping the crowd mix even better, and giving everyone a chance to address the group. Thanks for coming and thanks even more for the feedback. Cheers!
