Question: While shopping the San Francisco Summer Market, what would be the perfect product to discover?
A: "The perfect product has not been produced yet, so just maybe there is an idea out there that we all could use. I think the perfect product should be a piece of furniture that works like a chameleon: It could change colors and blend in with the other items, or even with a change in the lighting. It might be fabric, wood finish or a spray on product.

A: "Exclusivity is important, but that's so far out the window in this market it may be an impossible dream. Quality might be the biggest issue, but the No. 1 thing I'd love to stumble onto in San Francisco is contemporary and transitional high-end leather.
