The Canadian Design world has lost a dear colleague and friend, John Rizieri Paron.  John was an integral part of the early success at Designers Walk, formerly the Vice President, Marketing of W.H. Bilbrough & Co. and the Canadian Manager of Greeff Fabrics Inc.  Below, DW's Primavera Interior Furnishings and Design Icon Brian Gluckstein share some special thoughts about John:

"We have lost a friend and an icon of the Designers Walk community.  John arrived from Northern Italy in November 1956.  After several months living w/ family in Hamilton, John moved to Toronto .. while searching for a job, he arrived at the Sanderson Fabrics showroom where he was immediately hired & began his long career in the world of furnishing fabrics.  John was hired by R.C. Wallace & Co by Reg Wallace, a true gentleman, who would become his mentor".  Primavera Interior Furnishings

"He was the ultimate gentleman and an important part of the design community.  He will be missed".  Brian Gluckstein

Born and raised in Chicago IL, Kara Mann was steeped in an environment of creativity, elegance, and resourcefulness.  An entrepreneur at heart, Kara would sell CDs to fund projects and lie about her age to work restaurant shifts. Now she runs her own studio and has racked up clients like Virgil Abloh, Goop and several luxury hotels.  She’s just launched a collection with CB2 and a line of home essentials called Kept.  The Wall Street Journal aptly calls her a “spark plug in the world of design.”
