9.19.11 | It's time to think IIDEX/NeoCon Canada, an increasingly important show whose 2011 version will be held Sep. 22-24 at the Direct Energy Centre in Toronto, that most international of cities. In addition to product exhibits that you may not find elsewhere, there are some seminars that seem to be about as good as you will find anywhere. And, as always for the interior design community, there will be some scintillating architecture keynotes.

4.4.11 | ”Where is the moral compass?” asks Neil Frankel. “We need to train designers for moral and ethical questions.” Designers must think, in addition to function and beauty, into the realm of psychology and sociology. ”How can new knowledge be infused into design?” With that in mind, he created the Center for Workplace Performance at the University of Wisconsin -Milwaukee, sponsored by Haworth.

1.24.11 | Susanne Swift found a way to do well by doing good, in this case moving forward on the sustainability front and helping design education through her Save A Sample! program. Design firms and dealerships work together to salvage product and material samples no longer needed and bring them to design schools for student project use. Her scholarship program provides some of the connective tissue to hold everything together. Now advancing to the next level and expanding to three cities, Ms. Swift is looking for national and local sponsors to work with her, participating design firms and design schools and dealerships.

4.19.10 | In the late summer of 2007, Haworth sponsored a roundtable in its
Los Angeles showroom that was organized by Nila Leiserowitz,
Managing Director of Gensler, Los Angeles, and Brad Powell, Editor
of officeinsight. The impetus for the roundtable was the belief
that, while interior design is no longer a young profession, a clear
picture of the field and practice has yet to emerge and the picture that
existed was largely colored by quick residential interior make-overs on
HDTV and interior pictorials in the shelter and trade magazines.

4.12.10 | We’ve all seen the TV infomercials advertising numerous ways to improve
memory using video games, CDs and workbooks, etc. The solution to
increasing a person’s memory is simple, but it’s not something achieved
overnight.
