Happy 2nd Birthday, XYMARA.com!
By Le Vin Chin
And so we come to the end of our second year online!
Yes, this month, XYMARA.com celebrates its second anniversary – we’ve now been reporting on the trends in design and in materials and all the news that’s fit to print on new developments in surface effects for two years!
Thanks to your support, we’ve gone from strength to strength and our second year has been quite the thrill-ride! Since the last birthday celebration, we’ve launched myXYMARA, our online design community and our Materials channel, the resource for our innovative effects; we’ve published four more editions of our cutting-edge design magazine, INMYX and sent out thirteen more exclusive Color Trend research papers in our Newsletters; we’ve met you at our installations at the Passagen design event in Cologne and we’ve been recognized for the German Designpreis; we’ve held our XYMARA™ Design Award competition for young designers and presented the winner at our XYMARA Design Event at 100% Design …
We’ve inspired you with our eleven wood trend stylings and our seven trend stylings for graphic arts. We’ve introduced the amazing and novel effects imparted by our new products, Ciba® XYMARA™ XPS, Ciba® XYMARA™ Fireball and the innovative additive which allows carbon fiber surfaces to become design elements.
Most importantly, we’ve come back to you time and time again with the latest, the most up-to-date, the most visionary and the most cutting-edge reports, reviews, articles and interviews on design, designers, design shows and design trends!
We hope you’ve enjoyed dipping into our pages. We’ve surely enjoyed having you! Thanks for your visits, thanks for your interest and thanks for your excitement!
And there's much more in the offing! The best is yet to come - here’s to many more birthdays for XYMARA.com!
