What an incredible celebration of design at @designmattersnc in Raleigh, NC! From the stunning tablescapes and inspiring lectures to the meaningful connections made along the way, it was an unforgettable event celebrating creativity, community, and the power of design, all for an incredible cause benefiting the Fitch Family Comprehensive Pediatric Rehabilitation Program at UNC Children’s Hospital.

We’re so grateful to have been part of such a special event and can’t wait to do it all again next year!

Design Matters 2026 was such a special event! ✨ Purple Puddle was honored to be a Signature Sponsor and sponsor of the Keynote Luncheon, all in support of Fitch Pediatric Rehab Center.

A special shoutout to @designbytula for creating a beautiful tablescape featuring our Furstenberg collection. Tula’s table never disappoints!

Our pop-up shop was filled with seasonal favorites and plenty of mahjong must-haves. Thank you to everyone who stopped by and made this event so memorable! 🤍

Still smiling after a whirlwind three days @designmattersnc! Loved seeing the amazing creativity and appreciate all the hard work that went into this beyond fabulous event. As usual, the best part was seeing so many friends and getting to appreciate first hand their talents. And especially glad to see several @lydiamenziescelebrates The Supper Club members. The speakers were inspirational and yet, so real and approachable. Learning some tips from former White House floral designer @lauradowlingtheflorist at the end was the icing on three days of yummy design cake! I’ll be putting next year on my calendar now.

We are so grateful for the talented designers, creatives, and industry partners who continually inspire us and bring our products to life in the most beautiful and unexpected ways. It is a privilege to play a small part in your vision and to see the artistry, craftsmanship, and imagination behind every project.
Thank you for allowing us to be part of the process and for reminding us, time and time again, that the beauty is truly in the details. 🤍
Here’s to the creativity, collaboration, and people who make this industry so special! #designmattersnc #livinginlattice #interiordesign #luxliving

What a joy it was to create florals for two dear friends and incredibly talented designers, @designbytula and @designworksnc, at this year’s @designmattersnc Set the Table.

For Tula’s table, we leaned bold, a nod to her signature style, with a tropical-forward arrangement. A tall, bespoke glass vase lifted the arrangement above the setting, elevating the table in every sense of the word.

For Cam’s table, we had the pleasure of collaborating with @gracemartinfranklin_art, who hand-painted a white urn to carry the colors of the tablescape up into the florals, creating one seamless visual story from table to bloom.

Thank you to @designmattersnc for bringing together such a creative community. We were blown away by the talent at every single table, and are so grateful to Tula, Cam, and Grace for the inspiration!
