Last evening I was one of the lucky ones invited to attend a party of cocktails and Chow Mein at Fab.com's headquarters which couldn't be more conveniently located 1 1/2 blocks away from me on Morton Street! It was a wonderful party celebrating the diverse group of designers who have participated in sales on the site. The room was chock full of interesting people of all ages and sizes and fortunately all the Fab.com people were wearing name tags so it was easy for me to locate the super friendly buyers who had facilitated my sale. Bradford Shellhammer and Jason Goldberg, the founders of the company, each gave engaging, motivational speeches about the company's origins and the diversity of the designers involved which I think inspired everyone to be the best they can be and to follow their own design passion. I couldn't take photos during the party but I've borrowed some from Apartment Therapy and Inc to show how colorful and whimsical their wonderful office space is! I only wish I could have found a photo of their Food Room complete with scratch and sniff banana wallpaper.....
