The editors of Architectural Record are currently accepting submissions for the 2010 Product Reports review process. Manufacturers are welcome to submit new building products for the December issue, presenting the best and most innovative offerings available to architects, specifiers, and designers in 2011. A panel of architects, design professionals, and editors will select products for publication. There is no entry fee.

Milan Salone del Mobile
Between professionals and a curious public, Milan’s Salone del Mobile drew over 300,000 visitors this past April. While the 2010 edition of the greatest design show on earth may be most remembered for a pesky volcano that stranded the vast majority of those visitors, the longer-than-anticipated week-long event had them scouring the chic Italian city—from the fairgrounds in the northern suburb of Rho to the newest design destination in the former industrial district of Lambrate.

Each month RECORD reviews building product related web sites and blogs that might be of interest to our readership. We visit each site, kick the tires a bit, and share what it is about and how it functions.
