For one of my Interior Design classes we spent a week in Seattle visting different firms and companies such as tile, paints, and furniture. Our first stop as at the Seattle Design Center where we went into a few of the show rooms. They were all so different and I learned a lot from what each person had to say and even give advice for us. The next couple of days we continued to go to different show rooms and learn a lot of process work and such.
On Friday, our second to last day, our class split up and we each went to a design firm one on one and were able to shadow a designer for a while. The design firm that I was lucky enough to visit was Dawson Design Associates. They are a very small firm with about 14 designers and 3 architects. They were all very busy and the place was filled with so much things, such as process work, furniture dimensions on walls, fabrics, etc. The firm mainly focuses on hotels, resorts, spas etc. And they are usually upgrading what has already been put. Making 2 star hotels into 5 star hotels. I was able to see their materials library and learn a lot about process work. I was very fortunate to get the chance to visit this fabulous firm. Below are a few of their works that they have done. All of which are amazing.
