Described by DuPont as “part drafting table and part art gallery,” the company recently celebrated the grand opening of the 2,500-sq-ft. Corian Design Studio in Philadephia’s Marketplace Design Center.  DuPont partnered with C.H. Briggs, one of the largest distributors of DuPont Surfaces, to unveil the downtown space, where Philadelphia’s architects, designers, specialty retailers and commercial specifiers can, according to DuPont: “expand their understanding of DuPont Corian as an inventive, multi-dimensional design material.”

The gallery-style space, created by New York-based designer Harry Allen, the Design Studio will be home to traveling exhibits, educational seminars and other events.  Philadelphia is the third city to be home to a DuPont Corian Design Studio following Milan and New York.
