Earlier this month, ASID NY Metro Chapter partnered with the Decoration & Design Building for this year's student challenge, creating a full day of events with two separate student challenges, a variety of showroom tours, design industry speakers, and a keynote panel sponsored by Editor at Large. This combined effort allowed hosts and sponsors to embrace future leaders of the interior design industry.
"One hundred twenty students and emerging professionals attended the event, taking the DDB student initiative to a new level," said Ashlee Harrison, Director of Marketing at the DDB. "The building now has 150 new contacts to add to the digital database, and the best part is, they are all young designers!"
Showrooms within the DDB opened their doors for the Individual Challenge, where students created a design concept and rendering, Celebrating the Best of the D&D Building, to fit inside an existing display window in the building’s lobby. Students were given window dimensions and a list of participating showrooms, and were required to create a unique vision using available merchandise.
"In addition to the amazing turnout and participation of the students, we're also so appreciative of the nearly 30 sponsoring showrooms who collaborated on these challenges," said Ashlee. "The showrooms donated their time, resources, and labor in making this happen. For a first-time event, the event evolved and grew [and] proved to be a HUGE success!"
