Robin Wilson Talks Eco-Friendly Design

New York, NY – Robin Wilson, accomplished interior designer and owner of Robin Wilson Home, will headline 7 W’s next Designer Day in 7 W’s Event Suite on Tuesday, June 15th at 11:30 AM. The visionary and eco-entrepreneur will discuss the ins and outs of green design and will offer insight into how to create an eco – healthy home. Discussing everything from the “foundation to the furniture,” Wilson will offer her expertise on the green aspect of residential and commercial design.

Wilson also recently completed work on Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s private residence and published a book about her experience entitled, “Kennedy Green House.” Wilson will sign copies of the book, which offers a privileged sneak peek into the Kennedy abode and features the latest tips and trends on creating an environmentally responsible home. A light lunch will follow the program.

7 W takes particular pride in focusing on this “in-house” talent; Robin Wilson Home has a space on 7 W’s 9th floor (Suite 925). Attendees are invited to tour the rest of the building’s Design Friendly suites during the balance of the afternoon.
