Visit Catherine Hartman, a fellow HBRA member at Booth S2582 Connie Cooper Designs Decorates Holiday Window for a Good Cause Farrow & Ball enlisted 14 designers, which included HBRA member Connie Cooper of Connie Cooper Designs, to outfit windows with the theme "Comfort and Cure" in each of its locations across the country in an effort to spread awareness about HIV and AIDS. Partnering with DIFFA, the Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS, the windows were unveiled on December 1, which was World AIDS Day. "My goal was to create a display that would honor the medical professionals working so hard to find a cure for AIDS," says Cooper. "My space is imagined as the personal office of a doctor who travels the world helping those with AIDS. She is home for the holidays but still focused on her critical work. I was even able to find an antique doctor's bag that was filled with all sorts of vintage medical tools and apparatus from 1948."
