LOS ANGELES, CA - Caesarstone USA announced that their Color Pop-Up Tour will visit DesignPhiladelphia on October 11 and 12, 2012. Entitled "ReImagine," this stop will display the 17 new colors of Caesarstone's Classico, Motivo and the newly launched Supremo lines.
in addition, Caesarstone will host a special National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA) luncheon and expert panel, as well as an ELLE DECOR expert panel, and an invitation-only cocktail party co-hosted with ELLE DECOR.

Although certain events are by invitation, Caesarstone invites the public to view the Color Pop-Up Tour October 11 throughout the day and from 9am-12pm on October 12.
October 11 will begin with a ReImagine luncheon and panel presented by Caesarstone in association with the NKBA. This panel will serve as an NKBA certified class and will offer kitchen and bath professionals a unique panel of experts, continuing education units and insight into Caesarstone.
The day continues with a panel discussion titled ReImagine Design hosted by Ingrid Abramovitch, ELLE DECOR's Editor-at-Large. Ms. Abramovitch is also the author of "Restoring a House in the City" and the designers joining her will speak to the re-imagine theme.

Stephen Fanuka, host of Million Dollar Contractor on the DIY Network and author of "What's a Homeowner To Do?" will share his insider's advice on remodeling for unexpected results.

In the evening, Caesarstone and ELLE DECOR invites the Philadelphia design community for a cocktail party celebrating "You're So Vain." Party-goers will get a preview of Caesarstone's forthcoming 2013 line where a specially curated architectural installation by design duo Thoreen&Ritter takes center stage.
