Out & About with MDC: Connection, Celebration and Community

January 6, 2026

MDC’s team is proving that exceptional design happens both inside and outside the showroom. We’ve been busy orchestrating a series of recent events that blend high-value connection with high-impact entertainment.

From finding perfect equilibrium to staging a spectacular night out, these gatherings delivered valuable insights and connected our community with a unique flair. Take a quick look at where the MDC team has been lately!

Showroom Sanctuary: Finding Balance

The pursuit of balance is essential, whether in a design scheme or a demanding workday. Recently, we transformed our showroom into a serene sanctuary for a thoughtful yoga event.

This special gathering, part of the “Do It For DIFFA” fundraiser, saw the design community connect over both wellness and industry strategy. Hosted in the MDC Chicago showroom, the event offered designers a moment of mindful movement followed by an opportunity to connect over refreshments and the latest design trends.

It was a perfectly refined way to underscore our commitment to the holistic well-being of our industry partners while simultaneously raising essential funds for DIFFA Chicago’s unstructured grants.

A Night of Design & Delight

When a sophisticated evening meets sheer creative spectacle, you get a night to remember. We recently joined forces with partners Tarkett and Interface to host a truly unforgettable Drag Bingo event for the Chicago design community.

Our Chicago sales team managed this high-energy gathering with seamless panache. Co-Organized by Chicago Account Executive Alison Kulisek, the atmosphere was energized by highly creative, custom-made rainbow fans, a fun and playful detail that proved design and delight always go hand-in-hand.
