Mark those calendars: Product Placement 2.1 will happen Feb. 10 from 6 - 8 p.m. at Nemo Tile Company, Inc., located at 48 East 21st Street in New York City. This installment—which we’re organizing in conjunction with Ceramic Tiles of Italy and Nemo—will focus on those fab porcelain and ceramic slabs, the designers who make them, and the processes and trends in the field. And if you’ve never thought about the artistic value of tile, prepare to be schooled.
The event will be free, with the presentation starting at 7 p.m.; networking and drinks will happen before and after. Beat the rush and RSVP, as this one is going to be especially crowded: thisisproductplacement@gmail.com.

Tuohi is the Finnish word for birch bark. So no surprise that’s the material Finn Tapio Anttila used for the Tuohi trays, which are manufactured using a hot pressing technique that evens out the bark’s surface irregularities, but still preserves each piece’s unique color and pattern. With birch, you can either use its white-based side or brown reverse; the trays are available in each. Interesting also that the bark can only be removed from the birch trunk around midsummer, so the exact annual demand must be known then and planned for ahead of time. Available at Showroom Finland.
