2011 IIDA Couture...The Big Night!

2011-02-25T11:23:00.000-08:00

Thanks to Herman Miller for donating material and partnering up with Studio V for this year's IIDA Couture Fashion Event this year at the Hotel Valley Ho located here in Scottsdale. The turnout was great and congratulations to all the winners!

HM Reps: Marissa Mercuri & Emily Uher

“ Mid-century Modern offered the likes of the Pillbox Hat, the French Pleat, Audrey Hepburn and Herman Miller’s Marshmallow Sofa by George Nelson. Nelson’s fascination with the atom inspired our couture creation and subsequent explosion of atoms with remnants of the atoms still intact. What remains??? Tattered, but bejeweled atoms, followed by the extraordinary discovery of the DNA molecule, the adorned Pillbox Hat gone astray, the indestructible lacquered French pleat and the classic elegant presence of the legendary Audrey Hepburn. “

It's that time of the year again...even though Arizona is still climbing into the mid 70's there's no time like not to hunt down your favorite cup and sit down for a warm cup of hot cocoa....and why not dip a cookie into one of these?

2010 Fall Market

2010-11-12T12:35:00.000-08:00

So I had the pleasure of attending this year's Fall Market @ the Arizona Design Center. This experience was refreshing as I was able to soak a wealth of knowledge from some incredibly talented and dynamic interior designers such as...

Roger Thomas,

a world renown hospitality interior designer

for the Wynn and Encore hotels,

shared about his work on the interiors of the Wynn Las Vegas & Wynn Macao as well the background stories of his travels, installations and findings along the way.

He even took the time out to take a shot with me on his famous Kensington sofa over at Alexander-Sinclair.

Barry Dixon,

a highly respected high-end residential interior designer,

shared not only just his work but articulated the importance of preserving and respecting the history each of the rooms that he designed. Barry has also just come out with his new book, "Barry Dixon Interiors" which had many of the images that he showed us during his presentation.

Both of these gentleman shared so much through their work and experiences and it was such a pleasure to meet and learn from them both.

In addition...

Luxe Magazine's Editor-in-Chief, Pamela Jaccarino shared in a panel alongside with interior designer David Michael Miller & Dana Lyon from Palm Design Group about how to get published in a major magazine. Studio V has had the honor of getting published in Luxe, thus it was also encouraging to hear and see the work of other colleagues in the valley as well as just learn more about what is going on in the design community.

Till next year...

Martis Camp: Interior Design

2010-10-17T21:29:00.000-07:00

As winter is slowly approaching for those of here at Studio V, we've been keeping ourselves busy by working on yet another Martis Camp cabin in Truckee, CA. Though we have yet to enjoy cooler weather, we've been able to embrace and incorporate the great outdoors in our interior design of various cabins at MC. Here's a glimpse of some of our completed interiors including our custom rocking chair created in collaboration with Swaback Partners.

Lounging around...

2010-10-07T23:25:00.000-07:00

With only a week, Studio V teamed up to help design a buyer's lounge for 2010 Phoenix Runway show. One of the many sponsors was Susan G. Komen for the Cure and it was an honor to be able to have this opportunity to share our resources and team up with local vendors to pull this room together.
