FRO M TH E P RES ID ENT

2013 – 2014 Board of Directors

A

s I (literally) fly over the eastern part of Arizona on my way to the East Coast for a respite from our Arizona summer, I am struck by the landscape and the small patches of ‘civilization’ carved into the geography. It reminds of that we are all part of a big picture.

There was a television series years ago that was centered around everyone individually having a story. They would randomly pick a telephone number out of the phone book, call them up and paint a picture of their life. It was a fascinating look into the lives of everyday people...their path, accomplishments, challenges, culture and values.

I never take for granted how lucky we are in Arizona to have such a vibrant and accomplished Design Community...and we all have a story.

My personal path is an odd mixture of life experience, education and a non-traditional career path that led me to find a true passion for design and building.

After 911, I remember deeply questioning what relevance my chosen profession had. At times, it seemed to be so ‘trite’ compared to more staid, traditional roles in society that I was encouraged to pursue when I was young...(law school). The more I reflected, the more that I realized what an enormous impact that Design has in the world. We have the ability...and great responsibility...to make dreams a reality, increase work productivity, and create cohesive environments that (literally) shape the world that people live and work in. I’m thankful every day for where my journey has taken me.

Every one of you reading this has a unique story. Whether you’re a seasoned professional with years of experience, an Emerging Professional, or a student with a story yet to be written, we can benefit from each other. We all need to step out of our personal worlds and seek out the stories of others, as it challenges your perspective and often your career path.

Our AZ North Chapter has become a catalyst that will continue to foster collaboration within our extended design community. Go out and find those chronicles that inspire you to write a new chapter in your life. And to our experienced experts...please reach out to the next generation of Designers, tell them your tale and be prepared to be amazed by what you will learn from them in return.

We invite you all to join us in July to spin some yarns just for fun at our summer Tiki party, and to celebrate our Chapter at the Design Excellence Awards Gala on August 9th at the Phoenician...you won’t want to miss it! We’ll get back to serious stuff in September with a great CEU from Robb Best.

In the meantime, here’s to new stories---either hearing one or creating one of your own.

Warm regards, Gretchen Palmer, Allied ASID, President

e are starting a new DIRECTION in the look of ASID Arizona North Chapter and its communication with the membership. The interaction of the online and print components to get our message out as an effective Interior Design force is our primary focus.

And we want it to be fun.

To that end we are making sure our new Desert Design Magazine appeals to the professional in all of us and lets everyone know that we are first and foremost a creative force...and a Chapter of distinction.

The Desert Design Magazine will showcase each of our Chapter Meetings and events. The unique ability for Arizona North Chapter to have dynamic programs is not to be underestimated. This Spring we have taken our membership to great locations unique to us in the Valley for information on product introduction, integrated interior and exterior spaces as a lifestyle, celebrated an icon of Mid-Century Modern design, and had a party in a gilded room full of history.

We also focus on education and design in our Desert Design Magazine.

This month we start a feature on Exclusive Recreational Interiors. We discuss some out-of-the-box solutions to this topic and hope to feature more of these in future issues. It is also our responsibility to make sure the readership knows about those practitioners that are doing amazing things in the creative world on a local, regional, national and international level. Yes, we have that much talent in our group.

It is our hope that our Desert Design Magazine will endeavor all to excel in their own way to the best of their abilities. We translate this into great interior design for great clients and create a great work environment.

Here is wishing all of us in the ASID Arizona North Chapter the ability to excel in the desert and be awesome, creative and fun!

MARCH CHAPTER MEETING

Elements Trade Show 6

Desert Design summer 2014

A gathering of Industry Partners presented their products to the ASID practitioners at the “Elements” Trade Show.

N

ot often do the ASID Arizona North Industry Partners (IPs) have an opportunity to roll out their wares before the gathered Interior Designer masses but the March “Elements” Trade Show is one exception.

Gathered in the Scottsdale Convention Center were the collection of Industry Partners taking advantage of the faceto-face opportunity to present their product to the creative force that comprises the ASID Arizona North Chapter. Ranging in items from lighting to flooring, decorative accents, paint and faucets, all IPs put their best foot forward to make the event the highlight of the IP Spring calendar.

Addressing the group in the auditorium was Dave Mitchell, special guest speaker delivering the message “Understanding People - Hollywood Style” for the CEU seminar. All those attending enjoyed the catered lunch while making their Lego® sculptural statements.

Bringing this kind of professional vendor relationship to the Interior Design practitioner is the goal of ASID Arizona North Chapter. The interaction and mutual support of these two entities within the ASID organization makes ASID the comprehensive professional organization for the Interior Designer. It is this support of the ASID membership that compels the vendor to participate within the ASID organization. The continued business that each and every ASID member can recommend to the Industry Partner is the factor that makes it profitable for each one to be in the ASID fold.

The “Elements” Trade Show endeavors to keep this support alive. The Arizona North Chapter is one of the few entities that can provide this sort of event to its membership year after year. So it is up to each one of us to keep this cooperative relationship between the ASID Practitioner and the ASID IP alive and profitable.

APRIL CHAPTER MEETING

Integrating Architecture, Landscape & Interior Design 10

Desert Design summer 2014

A panel of experts share their insight with the ASID Membership at the Integrating Architecture, Landscape & Interior Design forum at the April 17 Chapter Meeting.

A

pril brought the ASID Arizona North Chapter membership to the Desert Botanical Garden for an evening of education and art. We heard from our esteemed panel of local professionals on Architecture, Landscape and Interior Design integrated into holistic spaces.

The Sonoran Desert allows for the unique indoor-outdoor living experience. A panel consisting of an Architect, Landscape Architect and Interior Designer discussed the comprehensive focus of living spaces that work both inside and out as a seamless design concept.

Erik Peterson, AIA, Principal with PHX Architecture addressed the architectural component of this design philosophy. Mr. Peterson showed images of his award winning architecture encompassing the indoor architecture flowing seamless to the outdoor experience. Mr. Peterson brought the excellence of his award winning portfolio to the panel discussion giving credibility to our Arizona community as a leader in the national architectural profession.

Chris McKibben, RLA, Landscape Architect with Swaback Partners, provided an “Exterior Space Planning 101� class educating the attendees on critical thinking on space allocation, landscape flora, hardscape materials, utilization of public areas and integration of these philosophies into residential spaces. Mr. McKibben is passionate about the special aspects of architecture into the landscape and made all of us believers in the value this brings to our environment.

Anita Lang, Allied ASID, completed the professional trilogy by presenting her Interior Design concepts and philosophies to the assembled Designers and IPs after returning from her trip to Milan and her exposure at the Salone Internazionale del Mobile. She introduced design trends that incorporate interior and exterior concepts flowing from the inside space to the exterior making for a cohesive design expression.

All of the panel discussion occurred in the amazing collection of Dale Chihuly sculptures in the traveling exhibition sponsored by the Desert Botanical Garden. Amid the color and whimsy of the curvaceous glass sculptures, the ASID membership wined, dined and learned the best expression of integrated interior and exterior design philosophy. Only in the beautiful Sonoran Desert do we get the natural splendor of such an evening.

MAY CHAPTER MEETING

An Evening of Mid-Century Modern 14

Desert Design summer 2014

Celia Bertoia shared insights, anecdotes and inspiration with the ASID Membership at the Mid-Century Modern May 15 Chapter Meeting.

T

he month of May was our Mid-Century Modern design showcase for our May 15 Chapter Meeting. The progressive-event evening started at The Vig Uptown with appetizers and hors d’oeuvres and a presentation by owner and entrepreneur, Tucker Woodbury. The Membership learned of the history of the classic structure and its transformation from bank to restaurant and its emphasis on repurposing a venerable building.

Our ASID Industry Partner, Copenhagen, finished the evening with a presentation by Celia Bertoia, daughter of famed furniture designer Harry Bertoia. Ms. Bertoia shared personal photos and stories on the design processes and history of the famous Bertoia chairs and its impact on modern American design.

Having started his professional relationship with some pretty heavy hitters in the modern furniture design world, Harry Bertoia was part of the Cranbrook Group that partnered him with Charles and Ray Eames. These famous mid-century modern designers were all alumnae of this famous design institute.

Ms. Bertoia commented on this early relationship and how it ended on stressful terms due to the disagreement over ownership of some of the icons of 20th century furniture design that Eames and the Cranbrook team made famous. “Yes, there were some issues with understanding how much the team worked on some of the most famous chair design projects that we know and love today. Charles (Eames) was one to take credit for shared design experiences.”

This prompted Mr. Bertoia to venture out and design furniture to his own “tune”. “My father was interested in music and based his design philosophy on this passion,” stated Ms. Bertoia. “You can see musical qualities in all of the chairs he designed in his life.” Mr. Bertoia loved the machine-made product and excelled at the production aspects of making his furniture appear “modern”. The slightest detail was considered in his chair production. Making the wire welds concealed, developing sensuous forms to fit the body and making each and every production piece as sensual as possible.

But, chairs are not the final chapter in Mr. Bertoia’s life. She also commented on Mr. Bertoia’s efforts towards the end of his career. “Later in life, he devoted his public spaces to sculptures that introduced a musical element to his final product.”

Converting a barn on their Pennsylvania farm into a work shop., the interior space was filled to the brim with the bronze rod musical public sculptures that Mr. Bertoia made famous. “Sometimes, Dad would go inside and stroke the pieces to hear the tones. Music for the soul”.

ASID extends its grateful appreciation to Copenhagen for sponsoring our Chapter Meeting and providing the desserts and cocktails.

JUNE CHAPTER MEETING

A Tour & Wine Tasting 16

Desert Design summer 2014

Amid the gilded splendor of the Arizona Biltmore, the ASID Arizona North Chapter got a taste of the good old days.

H

ow many architectural treasures rank with the beauty and originality of a Frank Lloyd Wright masterpiece? And, how many of these have their own sordid past within the confines of the architectural layout due to the customs of the day? There is only one unique property - it is right here in the glorious Sonoran Desert, and it is known as the Arizona Biltmore.

Started in 1929, the structure was unique on the desert as a destination resort for invited guests only. The climate of the desert and the climate of society played a pivotal role in the success of the magnificent edifice. During a recent renovation, a secret “cabinet” behind a sheetrock panel revealed a hidden secret: a bathtub-gin era speakeasy in the private gentlemen’s room upstairs. Taking advantage of the location, a custom bar could be turned around at a moments notice to conceal the contents behind a bookcase. Those imbibing in its hospitality would be warned of incoming authorities via a spotlight shown in the skylight. Secret passageways would spirit those away behind the walls to their rooms and avoid detection.

Such was the case with the ASID Chapter Meeting attendees as they learned the details of the hotel and its colorful past. Three separate tours educated the attendees as they toured not only the speakeasy, but the greater portion of the main rooms of the hotel, both upstairs and down.

Even a private tour of the upper patio revealed the warning spotlight under a bright Sonoran Desert full moon.

The evening was truly breathtaking as the members enjoyed a wine tasting and passed hors d’oeuvres under the gilded ceiling of the gold room. The June Chapter Meeting was the signature event of the summer as we coast into the heat of July and August and start the Fall Program schedule. Surely all those attending felt a little taste of the Jazz Age as they enjoyed the ASID Practitioners and IPs in the glory of days past.

ASID ARIZONA NORTH CHAPTER INTERIOR DESIGNERS IN THE NEWS:

OFFICIAL LAUNCH OF DESIGNER PRODUCT LINE F. Christopher West

T

his is the first entry of a new section in our Desert Design Magazine. Each month will feature at least one ASID Arizona North Chapter Interior Designer making news by a contribution to the community, new product introduction, or strengthening the image of Interior Design and improving our industry as a whole. This is dedicated to all of the excellence that makes ASID Arizona North the shining example of Interior Design on the national stage.

This month we celebrated Wednesday, May 28 as a special day for Anita Lang and her design team. This was the official launch party date for her Design 528 product line. As they state on their website www.design528.com…”Design 528’s proprietary design and manufacturing process is setting the standard by which luxury furnishings are created. 528 represents the frequency of love and the Design 528 process embodies this concept during every step of the creation of our elegant, handcrafted lifestyle artwork. Every piece we create is infused with love, joy, truth, beauty and excellence.

As a result those attributes are transferred into the homes and lives of our customers around the world and inspire them to create generations of joy and lifelong memories.”

This mantra is based on their belief that the human spirit is elevated through design. The world has become so concerned with getting things done yesterday that shortcuts are taken and sacrifices are made on the quality of the things around us. Life is a beautiful and precious gift to be experienced with joy.

The crowd at the Scottsdale Museum of Modern Art enjoyed Anita introducing her design team before unveiling her beautifully hand crafted furniture examples. The meticulous craftsmanship and glorious hardwood veneers make for an exceptional product verging on usable fine art.

ASID Arizona North Chapter’s Design for Hope

A

SID Arizona North Chapter has started the Design for Hope project and it is in full swing! They are in need of kitchen cabinets to complete the project.

If you know of a kitchen remodel where the existing cabinets are still in great shape and are salvageable but not to your/your client’s needs or taste, this could be a win-win situation. Stardust Building Supplies will deconstruct and remove the unwanted cabinets at no cost! This could save you a nice chunk of change - and make you feel good about helping out a great charity. Think of how soundly you’d sleep knowing you did something good for our planet by re-purposing/up-cycling.

The kitchen install will be for a Valley Life home in North Central Phoenix. For more information on this charity, visit www.valleylifeaz.org. For information on the project go to http://www.stardustbuilding.org/ design-for-hope.html.

The Art of Exclusive Recreational Interiors

Motorcoaches Some content edited from American Coach

T

oday more than ever, motorcoaches and RVs are not just vehicles that get you from point A to point B and provide a nice place to stay when you arrive at your destination. They’re seen as an extension of your home, and for many RVers, they’re a full-time home where families and friends spend time together and enjoy the adventures of the open road. So when it comes to designing motorcoaches, interior designers are continually looking at new and better ways to create livable spaces that are not only functional, but warm, welcoming, comfortable and beautiful.

More functional kitchens, premium materials, the latest technologies and convenient work spaces are just some of the current trends in RV design. ASID Interior Designers stay on top of all these trends and more, finding inspiration not only in the RV industry, but in other products such as yachts and private jets - topics the Desert Design Magazine will be addressing in future issues.

Designing the interior of a motorcoach is a very visual and tactile process that requires visual aids in order to convey ideas to other team members, including product development, engineering, sales, marketing and corporate executives.

The interior design process can take a year or more, depending on whether it’s an upgrade to an existing floor plan or a completely new model. Motorcoaches increasingly reflect the latest trends in interior design, from modern amenities typically found in homes, to rich fabrics and plush, comfortable furniture.

ASID Interior Designers in the Arizona North Chapter are faced with unique challenges in the

aspect of these motorcoaches being used as supplemental housing. Designing RVs as a seasonal guest casita that is then moved to the rim for summer get-away housing in not uncommon.

“Keeping the aesthetic upscale is always a concern” states designer Adrienne Hart, ASID, ModaScapes.

“The designer has to keep in mind that this is a luxurious and comfortable home but is primarily designed to move down the open road….at high rates of speed!”

Maneuverability is to be considered – both as an RV having to be parked and as a living space with limited square feet. “Tight spaces require extra thought to make for usable environments. Especially if the motorcoach is an extended guest-stay experience as a casita in our unique Scottsdale community that allows for residential RV hook ups on your property” continues Hart.

Similarly, Anita Lang, Allied ASID, IMI Design, commented on her interior design focus for designing for high-end motorcoaches. “The interior of this beautiful coach (as seen in the photo) was custom designed with all the amenities of home.” Making the movable feast of interior design a personal expression of the owner’s own home, that creative processes flowed to the 4-wheeled residence. “From custom sectionals that include dinette serving areas to Anigre and Zebra wood materials bringing in a warmth and comfort to the space while on the move, this is truly a home away from home.”

Providing all of the amenities for daily life with luxurious touches makes for a design challenge. Hart concludes that “in the end, it is still a beautiful livable space. Granted, it is with high-end finishes, but the essential movable element of the motorcoach is the end product.”

here has been a lot of talk about the growing popularity of amenity-rich outdoor living environments and how they have prompted the concept of “staycations.” But interior spaces also are playing a major role in expanding the recreational activities that can be enjoyed at home.

From Man Caves with wet bars and patios for cigar smoking, to Garage Mahals with kitchenettes and big-screen televisions, recreation-oriented indoor rooms are all the rage.

Following are some of the more unusual ones that I have seen: • A tri-level Kid Cave for a teenage boy, situated in a tower that includes a sleeping area with fireplace and a bunk room on the lower-level; a loft with a desk and computer station; and a covered open air patio.

• A Vodka Room with leather floors and a floorto-ceiling labradorite bar wall.

• A home theater that transforms into a golf practice room, thanks to a simlator that can project courses from all over the world onto a screen that can take the impact of a 100mph golf ball.

• A saloon, complete with a long bar along one wall with seating for 12, a fireplace sitting area with a TV camouflaged by a painting, a custom billiards table, poker table, buckshot-trimmed cabinets and a tooled-leather ceiling, And the list goes on. Whether it’s a wellstocked library with custom millwork, rolling ladders, and comfy places to read; a craft/ scrapbooking room with an island and multiple works areas; a mirrored dance studio; an underground rifle range; or an air-conditioned indoor basketball court, custom specialty rooms for man, woman and child are the stuff today’s dreams are M E D I A PA RT N E R S made of.
