Interior designers routinely turn so-so rooms into something spectacular. Add a one-of-a-kind piece of fine craft into the mix, and the result can be something truly special.

To celebrate our 2013 show season, we invited regional interior designers, architects, and stylists to create room settings — all inspired by craft made by our show artists.

Take a look through the following pages to meet our Bay Area professionals and get a glimpse of a few of the finished settings.

Planning on attending our August show in San Francisco? Lucky you! All of the vignettes will be set up on the show floor for you to browse and soak up some inspiration. So if you’ve been waiting to find that perfect piece to adorn your own home, there’s no better place to start than here.

VisionThis room has a bold, graphic wall of slatted wood and Heath tile. The Goldenberg piece is placed above a vintage modern sofa by Jens Risom, and the Whippen cube not only provides function, but is a study in contrast to the other forms in the room. A Christopher Boots light fixture provides the perfect ambiance.

Design styleMy style is marked by clean lines, material richness, and a reverence for authenticity. Unabashedly transitional, I draw from many styles to create richly layered environments. My design approach is consistently relevant, with an unexpected component.

Design styleOur firm’s style is client-specific, with a look toward modern insights and livable elegance. Each design is a reflection of a particular client’s personality or brand, with an emphasis on engaging individuals and providing a one-of-a-kind experience.

VisionThree Legged Pig Design was inspired by the multifaceted qualities of Michael Scarborough’s work. Like the tea set, the space will be designed with a refreshing use of materials, layers of texture, and influences from traditions reinterpreted.

Design styleBridging the worlds of art, fashion, and architecture, my work is known for its dark glamour, imagination, and curatorial vision. My sensory-rich environments are imbued with a modern mixture of found objects, repurposed materials, and the finest accessories and furniture.

VisionFocusing on base and elemental materials such as plaster and light, NICOLEHOLLIS will create a dynamic space that brings to the foreground the simplicity of form embodied by the works of Lilith Rockett.

Vision“Le Boudoir” is a sitting room for today’s overworked mother, wife, and office executive. It is a decadent retreat where she can retire her Jimmy Choos, mix a killer martini, and escape into her favorite new romance novel.

Design styleA home should capture the life of each individual while evoking a sense of comfort. My aesthetic focuses on a blend of modern, industrial, and rustic elements, balanced with vintage and feminine accents. I have an obsession with pattern and color, which is often exhibited in bold fabric and wallpaper selections.

Design styleI make and design felt rugs based on the oldest rug tradition from Central Asia. My designs are simple, graphic, and modern reinterpretations of an ancient craft, seamlessly blending old world technology with a modern design sensibility.

VisionWhat attracted me to Gerry Arrington’s forms was the simplicity combined with warm textures and earthy palette. For our collaborative space, I will create a place of reflection and rest with references to nature in all of the surfaces.

VisionMy vision for the room setting is to highlight the combination of organic and architectural forms in Monica Rudquist’s work. My goal is to create a design that reflects the elements of structure and fluidity through the use of materials, texture, and pattern.

VisionI’m intrigued by Elizabeth Lundburg’s ability to create complex and lifelike objects out of wood. We share the same pursuit in stretching media to create unique and surprising objects. I created a room that highlights the piece in stark contrast, using clean lines, white furnishings, and an element of the unexpected.

VisionInspired by the juxtaposition of the smooth and rough surfaces within Kris Marubayashi’s Caldera series, as well as the natural processes of the caldera itself, our design explores the way a combination of digital and handmade fabrication processes can transform a space.

Design styleWe are an architecture practice that draws on our backgrounds in art, landscape, and architecture to provide informed, flexible design for a wide range of clients, sites, and projects – from individuals to art institutions, urban to rural settings, and furniture to large buildings.
