Designer Spotlight: Katch Design Company
Just this year, sisters Pamela and Steph Katch decided to start The Katch Design Company, a custom furniture and a la carte interior decoration and styling service as an offshoot of Katch I.D., their New York City residential interiors firm.
Pamela, a former museum installation designer and creative director, and Steph, a Parsons School of Design grad and interior designer, have now turned their sights toward designing and manufacturing furniture that emphasizes the idea of responsible luxury — combining well-made, handsome design with sustainable materials and low environmental impact.
All of the Katch Design Company, Ltd.
Designer Spotlight: Ryan Korban
I've been obsessed with interior designer Ryan Korban ever since I saw his apartment featured on The Selby last year — look at his room! But I was disappointed to find little to speak of him online. No website, nothing.
Designer Spotlight: Gary Spain
San Francisco-based interior stylist Gary Spain creates eclectic interiors that take inspiration from unexpected sources. Indeed, in the current issue of California Home+Design, he notes that, "When I’m on a project, I’m really inspired by everything I see."
Spain's interiors mix high- and low-end finds, global influences, and showstopper new and vintage pieces.
Designer Spotlight: Kristen Buckingham
Blending family-friendly coziness, rocker chic, and Bohemian sensibilities seems only fitting for designer Kristen Buckingham. She is, after all, married to Lindsey Buckingham, guitarist for Fleetwood Mac. The Buckinghams' home is featured in the current issue of Elle Decor, and showcases Kristen's unique decorating style.
Designer Spotlight: Domestic Construction
While most Anthropologie catalogs are beautifully styled, the fabric rooms pictured in this particular catalog truly took my breath away. The stitched backdrops and room facades were designed by Trish Andersen and Maureen Walsh, whose design studio Domestic Construction focuses on interiors, environments, and unique fashion and home products. Trish and Maureen met at Savannah College of Art and Design.
Designer Spotlight: Scott Weston
Sydney-based architectural, interior, and graphic designer Scott Weston has a slew of awards under his belt, including Best Commercial Interior and Best Use of Color from the Design Institute of Australia. His design of the Medusa Hotel was voted one of "the coolest hotels in the world" by Condé Nast Traveler. I find his innovative use of color awe-inspiring, and his theatrical designs, be it a bell-curved ceiling or stage-like curtains in a kitchen, make each room in his portfolio a treat to enjoy — like tickets to a Broadway musical.
Designer Spotlight: Ondine Karady
Today's Designer Spotlight goes by the name of Ondine Karady. Ring a bell? That's probably because you've watched her facing challenges and wowing us with her design skills on season two of Top Design.
How Well Do You Know My Designer Spotlights?
Over the past year I've introduced you to a wealth of fabulous designers, be it little-known interior and furniture designers or big names on television. Sometimes you thought you knew everything there was to know about them — until I surprised you with a random fact. And at other times, you were happy to meet some fresh new faces in design.
Designer Spotlight: Laurence Pasquier
Interior stylist Laurence Pasquier has a background in textiles and a distinct, scenic style. She feeds her influences and inspirations by spending time in London and Paris, two of Europe's most cutting-edge cities. Pasquier is often hired by communication agencies to build sets for a launch, and magazines like Living Etc, Homes & Gardens, and Real Homes rely on her to style atmospheres for photo shoots.
Designer Spotlight: Suzy Hoodless
After five years as an interiors editor at Wallpaper*, Suzy Hoodless decided to ditch the written page and try her hand at designing interiors herself. She set up a design consultancy in 2000, specializing in interior design (both residential and commercial), and since then has racked up clients all over the globe. Be it a hunting lodge in Scotland, a beach house in Barbados, or a members only club in London, Hoodless brings a unique, timeless aesthetic to each interior.
