Dena Fishbein

Dena Fishbein, the creative force behind Dena Designs, has been gracing homes and families with delightful products for nearly 20 years. Her design and artistic abilities, a finely tuned sense of market trends and a flair for creative collaboration make her one of the most sought-after and influential designers in America. She does all of this while at the same time creating new designs daily; redoing several houses with her husband; raising three children; passionately shopping flea markets, yard sales and antique shops; gardening; and decorating.

Dena aligns herself with industry leaders to create bestsellers the world over. Her wide range of products includes dinnerware and giftware, infant and juvenile bedding and accessories, giftware and stationery, fabric and home accessories and much more. Wanting to share her talent to embellish, Dena is developing a publishing program on embellishing with Sterling/Chapelle. The first of her books, Embellish Your Home, will be available in the fall of 2005.

From whimsical patterns to elegant florals, Dena's award-winning work is woven from the delight she takes in blending form, color and design. She has the unique ability to make a product, a collection or an entire home feel wonderfully nostalgic yet always original. Tradition is revived, but with a fresh attitude!

"Who has time to be a perfectionist?" Dena asks. "This is about having fun, spending only a little, laughing a whole lot and ending up with something you just love."
