NKBA SoCal Chapter Event - August 18, 2015
NKBA Southern California and Eleganza Studio invite you to an inspirational evening at their Anaheim Studio.
We often ask ourselves, what sets a well-designed space apart from a great designed space. Good design is planned and assembled, balancing color and statying within boundaries, while great design inspires, invokes, tests the limits of knowledge, using imagination to ignite an emotional response from your audience. Taking each element we come in contact with as a muse, an illusion which can be altered into the perfect mold, best fitted to our lifestyle. We are not afraid to color outside the very lines we were once so careful to not cross, this is our NEST, our HOME, after all this is where our HEART is. This is STUDIO, the next chapter at Eleganza. Forecasting what will be, rather than what already is and exists. Forever our vision, modern movement redefined!
