Fendi Casa, along with Habatat Galleries, hosted a reception last week at its showroom in The Washington Design Center, which featured designer Dominque Alexander of City Style Interiors.

“Audrey,” by Noi Volkov through Habatat Galleries, was displayed at the Fendi showroom reception, along with several other Habitat works.
