Driven by corporate culture, focused on fashion, fawned over by media, we continue our creative REPLICATIONS babbling 'green' lip service while we party and congratulate each other about our tremendously mediocer work. If I see another variation by some designer icon of the lightweight stacking chair, I think I may go beserk! ENOUGH ALREADY!! "ROME IS ON FIRE, WE NEED DESIGN REVOLUTION" A complete rethink of interior space that starts with a blank canvas, forget everything we think we know, and create UNIQUE ( that means previously did not exist ) modular boxes, purpose designed for prefab mass production of each and every physical element WITH THE PRECONDITION THAT WE ACCEPT A 500 SQ. FT. LIMIT AS REASONABLE TO ACCOMODATE THE LIVE/WORK NEEDS/ASPIRATIONS OF 2 ADULTS FOR THEIR LIFETIME. Nothing of our sustain, renew objectives can be achieved until we accept that the smaller footprint essence of Kyoto means YOU AND I, and that will not happen until the A and D heros show us how, with a design Renaissance. My SpaceProjekt is that effort. Anyone interested can find out more at myspace.com/spaceprojekt Thanks for the chance to rant....Michael Dear Susan,

But still, I try and I try. And I am able sometimes to influence clients to consider sustainable products. Lately I have been able to have some influence in the area of paint. So like you, for '07 I have decided to make it a goal of mine to talk more about it. Today I posted about on my blog about VOCs and paint. Maybe it will get more people thinking. http://www.oninteriordesign.com/on_interior_design/2007/01/going_green_wit.html if you are interested.Abbey I do know what you mean.
