Concurrents: Questioning the Design Food Chain
10.27.08 | Is it interesting to anyone else that while commercial interior designers
are begging for respect from the architectural community, they
simultaneously shun equally qualified residential interior designersÂ…and
highly knowledgeable manufacturerÂ’s reps for that matter?
Qdesign's Intellectual Partners
10.13.08 | On September 18, 2008, Qdesign introduced its Intellectual
Partners; a team of independent, forward thinking and creative
professionals from the furniture industry. Six months ago the firm
invited these select professionals to work collectively to provide a
comprehensive package of advanced product development, design, and
service.
Would someone please send this group to Washington?
10.6.08 | Industry forums and roundtable discussions often disappoint. After long
weekends of wordy exchanges, a bit of occasional pontification, and
finally consensus building about an issue, ideas soon evaporate without
action. However, the Kimball Office Work Group was all business
when it met for three days to discuss Sustaining Interior Design
Education. It not only succeeded in identifying the problem and
challenges, it responded with the attached report: a strategy, complete
listing of recommendations and an implementation plan for the next five
years.
