Innovation Nation: Design Going the Distance

Gambar
Modern Modalities  For decades, there has been an invisible wall between materials suitable for residential construction and materials suitable for commercial construction, said Phillip Thomas, founder and principal of Phillip Thomas Inc. in New York City.  "In recent years, this wall has come tumbling down, as residential designers look for the sustainability and the cost effectiveness of materials most often found in commercial design, and as commercial designers look to up the ante and the luxury of their designs," Mr. Thomas said. Resins, for example, have made transformations recently that have rendered them as luxury materials to be used on all surfaces of the homes. "Gone are the days of the utilitarian connotations of resin, and in are the luxurious tones of the material," Mr. Thomas said.  "We're seeing them used in a multitude of ways, from lighting ...

THIS Morning fans were left shocked today as interior designer Kelly Hoppen gave Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby a tour of her huge but "messy" monochrome home. Kelly, 60, has been offering the likes of Alesha Dixon and Josie Gibson advice on how to make the best use of their space during lockdown in video calls on the ITV show. But she received mix reviews when she opened her own doors, as viewers spotted piles of dishes on the counter and shelves brimming with books, ornaments, plants and boxes. The talented designer revealed she lives in a stunning house in central London and prefers grey, black and white interiors. She told Holly, 39, and Phil, 58, that her kitchen is her favourite room in the house, as it features a breakfast bar that runs the length of the room. Kelly, who joked it doubles up as her boozing bar, zoomed in on tupperware boxes, two jars of Marmite, a coffee machine with two pots of pods and jars of spices. A half empty bottle of wine, b...

Anne Zuckerberg had a reputation as an in-demand interior designer with an eye for tasteful antiques. *** Coronavirus: The ones we lost — The Palm Beach Post is chronicling the lives of the people in Palm Beach County who died in the pandemic. *** One day in 1958, a free-spirited New Jersey homemaker with a creative streak took out an ad in the local newspaper: "Confused in choosing fabrics? Think you can't afford a decorator? Call me." Soon, Anne Zuckerberg's phone started ringing. Sporadically at first. Then seemingly nonstop.

Five Questions That Interior Designers Ask to Define Your Home's Style

Gambar
We've all been there: You're trying to describe your interior design style to someone—and you just can't put it into words. "It's often challenging for clients to clearly describe their aesthetic," says Jessica Geller of Toledo Geller. "Instead of having them use words like transitional, modern, and so forth (which can mean different things to different people), we instead ask our clients how they want a room to 'feel' and it is the most telling assessment of all." Of course, functionality should be taken into consideration when determining one's interior design style, too. "I think it's most important to know who is living in the space," says Christine Gachot of Gachot. "While aesthetic can generally be sorted out by looking through imagery with a client, the real core of the design is rooted in an understanding of who is in the space and what their lives look like day-to-day." What if you're not sure how you ...

Arrow Fairs far and wide may be canceled or postponed in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, but that doesn't mean that Paris's Maison & Objet isn't continuing to look towards the future. This morning, M&O announced that Franklin Azzi has been named the designer of the year for its forthcoming fall fair. The Paris-based architect is known in part thanks to his widespread influences, which range from the work of fellow French buildings visionary Claude Parent to the art of Donald Judd. But as Azzi himself recounted in a press release shared in conjunction of the news, the individuals who have inspired him stretch far back. "He was a catalyst for many things," Azzi commented of Paul Virilio, one of his professors while studying at Paris's Ecole Spéciale d'Architecture. "He not only influenced the way I work today, but taught me rea...
