The Palm Beach Show Group C.E.O. Scott Diament and American Red Cross will bring together seven of the world’s leading interior designers to create the 2015 Designer Showcase, a highlight of the Palm Beach Jewelry, Art & Antique Show at The Palm Beach County Convention Center, February 13 – 17, 2015.

Using treasures from the show, this year’s Designer Showcase will feature six awe-inspiring room settings that demonstrate how art and antiques from the past can be used to enhance and elevate the environments of the present.  Interior Designer and Showcase Curator Campion Platt, along with Suzanne Kasler, Gil Walsh, Lars Bolander, Jenny Garrigues, and William and Phyllis Taylor, will create these elaborate vignettes for guests to enjoy over the five-day show.

The designers will select one-of-a-kind relics from the past from more than 160 international dealers and incorporate them into rooms that reflect their unique, individual aesthetic – from traditional, to minimalist contemporary.

Campion Platt will then bring each of the rooms together through 3-D mapping.  “Insidemaps is a revolutionary three dimensional interior mapping software that will transform the web experience to 3D from 2D,” he explained Platt. “With a simple point and click smartphone you can literally transform static rooms to realistic 3D design and shopping environments.”
