This year's Student Design Day at the DDB focuses on the emerging talent of 2012 and includes a full day of showroom open houses and panel discussions. Here's a look at what you should pencil in this coming Monday, February 9, during the DDB's Student Design Day—and the best part is, this is all before lunchtime!
The programs begin at 10 a.m., starting with the Agostino showroom, which hosts a Welcome Breakfast with art adviser Carole Pinto. The Art of Collecting: Building an Affordable Art Collection is the topic of Pinto’s talk, which is intended to introduce student designers to skills they should add to their design foundation.
At 11 a.m., Creation Baumann, Suite 1522, will host The Window with Erik Bruce. Window treatments are an all-too-often-overlooked opportunity for design in modern interiors. Noted window treatment designer Bruce presents a glimpse into his process: a fresh, new approach to treating windows and dividing spaces in harmony with the architecture. Having served as the principal designer at Mary Bright Inc. for the past eight years, Erik is now creative director of his own studio. He continues to develop inventive solutions for unique spaces, working closely with the architect and/or interior designer of every project.
At 11:30 at Pollack, Suite 1722, Textile 102: Inspiration, Imagination, Interpretation invites participants to start with the spark of inspiration and examine in detail how choices of material, construction, pattern, and color are resolved to create a physically functional and aesthetically pleasing fabric. Techniques for gathering and refining sources of inspiration will be shared, and we will look closely at the specific steps taken in developing a textile from start to finish. In particular we will focus on the methods—some traditional, others cutting-edge—that designers use to create patterns and textures in fabric.
Lunch will run from noon to 1 p.m. Anichini, Suite 923, and Niedermaier, Suite 417, showrooms warmly welcome students for a special luncheon and tour.
