DYENAMIX LAUNCHES NEW WEBSITE FOR ITS HOME COLLECTION
President Raylene Masarco of Dyenamix Inc. reports that the company's home collection has been growing and it was time to separate the service end of her business from Dyenamix as a brand. In addition to their two existing showrooms, the company has recently acquired a west coast showroom called Sloan Miyasato, which is located in the San Francisco Design Center Showplace.

At the beginning of February, Raylene participated in "Design San Francisco:, a design conference geared toward architects and interior designers. The presentation was met with great enthusiasm from the audience, who realized they were able to customize our patterns to suit their client needs. The new website allows the designers a glimpse at the applications of our patterns in "room vignettes" or provides an overview of the entire line in "collection."

Please view DYNAMIX' new website --- (http:www.DYENAMIXHOME.com) -- and pass it along to any designers that you feel would benefit from the collection.
