Interior Design lenses on Squidoo


I got hooked up on Squidoo. May be you are new to Squidoo? Why not Join Squidoo? It's free, easy, and fun to build pages and share your knowledge. Plus you can earn money for yourself or your favorite charity doing it.

I have written lenses about my favorite topics like psychology of color and paint effects. As well because I was working as design sales executive, I wrote few articles about how to choose floor tiles, the use of stone in design and lense about advantages of using tiles.

I included my design course mood and sample boards on Squidoo. I know many people will appreciate it. When I was a student, I always searched for other people project to get inspired. I you have a design blog, you can add your link here.

My latest lense is about wall stencils. Wall stencils are great to work with! By using them, you can create instant wow effect. Love them and planning to do it my own bedroom.

Hope you will like my lenses! Please leave comments.

Famous Interior Designers - Who Are They

Famous Interior Designers - Who Are They
Author: Bowe Packer

READ MY ANOTHER ARTICLE ABOUT FAMOUS WOMEN DESIGNERS

Despite what you may think famous interior designers are not thin on the ground, and there are a great many of them gracing the halls of celebrity today. Another words, there are plenty of them who are making an excellent living at designing. We just haven't heard of them and may never hear of them. They might not be as well known or as prolific as some artists and fashion designers are, but they do exist nevertheless. The reason for this almost unheard of fame can be solely attributed to the fact that interior design didn't truly take off until the latter half of the 20th century.

In fact until the 20th century there weren't necessarily any famous interior designers per se. Yes, there were famous interior designers for dissimilar era's but fame as we infer it didn't come until very newly when there was a flock of interest in all things DIY. And for those of us to don't know what DIY is - it is short for Do It Yourself. And specifically refers to the TV Network. Hence, since interior decorating and some of its off shoots, can be reasoned to DIY that's when the world really became aware of interior decorating. And it wasn't until a few years after that that dissimilar interior designers started to make a name for themselves amongst the ecumenical public. Just like many things in our society it takes a while before it hits main stream. Things of this nature usually start with the rich and wealthy and then move on from there.

For the most part these famous interior designers gained their fame through the usual means of achieving fame, through the TV. They appeared in numerous Television home improvement programs, and they held numerous, televised DIY (Do It Yourself) programs and fundamentally got their face well recognized to the public. And that's how famous interior designers of the last decade of the twentieth c achieved more than a meek fame.

There are of course more famous interior designers than the ones you see on TV. Others who might be television camera timid. And could very often be just as good as or even better at what they do than the more media savvy interior decorators. As I said earlier, there are sure to be a bundle in this category and we will never know about them. Ones who decorate the famous, such as George Clooney, Jerry Rice and the like.

Then there are the famous interior designers who have been about for what seems like forever and a day and who have made a family name for themselves through their relentless efforts. Yes, it isn't all play, many times it is long hours to get to that place of fame.These interior decorators are much lauded in their world and are the pundits from whom the new generation of interior decorators learn their craft. Many of these "Old School" decorators if you will are now teaching their trade.

So as you look for the names of famous interior designers you need to understand and accept that you won't be able to find all of them just because you look through interior magazines. Sometimes these famous interior designers like to keep their celebrity under raps. Working behind the scenes, so to speak, and enjoying life without all the paparazzi.

Famous interior designers aren't host, but there are a sizable number of them, and they all have gifts of talent and one thing in common. They have a good eye for design and decorating and they can put together a room to make the very best out of all its features. Ok, so that was two things they all have in common! Just remember, you could one day walk right past a famous interior designer and not even know it.

Jurgen Bey and his "dutch pieces"

Today I bought a book for my friend. It's called Designers on Design by Terence Conran and Max Fraser. Very nice book - suggested to everyone who loves design. Very illustrated book with questions for designers about design.

So flicking through the book I really liked those chairs by Jurgen Bey (Netherlands designer). Dutch pieces designed for Interpolis in 2002.

They are a bit exaggerated but that's what makes them so special and unusual. Amazing concept. For more go to http://www.jurgenbey.nl/

SWAN SOFA by Arne Jacobsen

Design of the 20th Century.


This amazing piece of furniture is called SWAN SOFA. It was designed for the Royal Hotel in Copenhagen in 1958 by Arne Jacobsen- for the suites, lounges and the Panoramic room at the 21st floor. An outstretched 2-seater version of the Swan chair covered in different types of leather or fabric and resting on an aluminium shaker base.

I can't believe it was 1958. Arne Jacobsen was very productive both as an architect and as a designer. His cooperation with Fritz Hansen dates back to 1934. It's still available from Fritz Hansen.
