Lafayette Chair from Kravet
Who says that good design has to cost a lot of money? Not Kravet.
The furniture and fabric company Kravet has introduced kravetsmart, a new brand which sets out to prove that beautiful interior design doesn’t have to cost the earth.
Kravetsmart will offer fabrics and trimmings, called “smartfabrics,” will be offered in a full spectrum of textures, patterns and colors. The brand’s “smartweaves” will launch with a set of six color books featuring the palettes Pebble and Pepper, Cocoa and Sangria, Turquoise and Seaspray. (read the rest of this post…)

I was so happy to be able to make Trina Turk’s talk at the Laguna Design Center’s West Week. I was even happier to find out that David Dalton was joining her! I wanted to share some of the important points I picked up from them, as I was inspired and excited by hearing about their rise to fame:

As for David Dalton, his collaboration with another type of artist – the singer Meatloaf – proved enjoyable and promotional: Meatloaf’s redesigned home was featured in Architectural Digest. Dalton’s own home was featured in Western Interiors, Loft, Dwell, Shelter and Angelino magazines, which helped propel him into the public eye. Dalton spoke of how easy it was to design – the empty space itself was unbelievably inspiring! (read the rest of this post…)
