Porcelain Slab Innovation Panel Event at Architessa

On an early June evening, we had the privilege of hosting a learning panel event at our Rockville location. 

We were "Unveiling the Mystery of Porcelain Slabs" to our local clients and designers both in the commercial and residential field. We had a panel of experts speak on the innovation that is Porcelain Slabs.

It was a night full of networking, learning, and happy hour-ing!
