To a packed house, MA09 Launch Night sent a strong message that the state of contemporary design in Atlanta is flourishing and maturing. The kickoff served to showcase leading and emerging Atlanta creative talent while celebrating what in the minds of many makes Atlanta a destination for thoughtful and elevated design.

Launch Night highlights included the much anticipated 2009 Architect Scale Models/ Renderings Exhibition by Atlanta studios Phobos 7, Philip Babb Architects, Dencity, Harrison Design Associates, Surber Barber Choates & Hertlein Architects, Lightroom, and Robert M. Cain Architect, just to name a few; from Italy- Zanotta's 40 Years of Sacco chair exhibit and paintings by the acclaimed Milan-based painter Marco Grassi; Atlanta-based contemporary furniture design exhibits; display of amazing sustainable wall and panel products by 3form; installations by designers and Georgia Tech professors Claudia Winegarden and Gernot Riether; contemporary children furniture exhibit by The Seed Factory, and for the first time-a Georgia Tech Industrial Design student designer exhibit.

MA09 Launch Night was attended by over 1500 lovers of contemporary architecture and design and took place in a very cool and large raw space in the mix-use White Provision development, located in Midtown West next to Star Provision.
