DESIGN NEWS: The Height of Regal

Didier Faustino, is both an artist and architect mainly known for his avant-garde style and fascination with space. Faustino's exhibit The Best of All Worlds is being held in Paris, France until December 4th which consists of Regal chairs designed at various heights! He is also the co-founder of Bureau des Mesarchitecture architect firm and will be speaking at UofT and OCAD universities November 22nd and 23rd.

I absolutely love this! The different heights and consistency of shape and colour works well with the space creating a collage of work. The elongated legs and the placement of the chairs give the impression of a continuous growth into space. Just fabulous!

PORTFOLIO: Staging Work

I have been able to work on a few staging jobs in my time and they are quite fun! With staging there is usually a streamlined contemporary look with a "magazine finish" that real estate agents like to go for, this helps the masses viewing for a current look within design; nothing to fancy or over the top. Homeowners on the other hand usually like to make it more personal because of their existing furniture and decor items that have meaning or some type of memoir. This is where a stager/ designer needs to balance the two.


Please view the below techniques:

Traditional: Keeping in touch with the exterior architecture of the house, the client's sofas mixed with modern accent pieces compliment each other.

Contemporary: Always works and can never go wrong! Most people like this because model homes usually look like this.

Modern: This style usually depends on the architecture of the home, but clean lines and white tones are usually involved to make the space look bigger for a great selling point.
