People    Paragon Interface visit the Milan Furniture Fair

 
Paragon Staff Claire D'Adorante, Kirsty Schoombie, Jenna Monteith, Anthony Karam and Anthony Orelowitz and Cindy Faux visited the Milan Furniture Fair during April 2017.



" The Milan Fair was an experience in which you long for an extra set of eyes to see, an extra pair of feet to walk and an extra mind to inspire. It was the time of our lives and we were deeply enriched by the worldly designs, chic culture, and superb food. What an experience.  "
