Innovation and outside-the-box creativity is key in making this happen, and the Georgia Chapter of the American Society of Interior Designers is excited to introduce a new lecture series to help address this phenomenon. The launch of the inaugural VANGUARD Lecture Series this coming year strives to challenge our creative community to think differently about how we design, how we design our business and the "business" of design. 2006 President, Lucy Aiken-Johnson, ASID conceived this event to inspire dialog and conversation in the industry, to get creativity flowing and to develop a respect for innovation. "So many of us lock into one way of doing business; all clients become faceless in the name of the process. This lecture series will encourage all to reevaluate that idea and tailor what we do to create a better product all around," she hopes. To be a vanguard, one must be at the forefront of current thought, industry trends, business practices, and new technologies. The keynote event for the VANGUARD lecture series features an individual who represents all of these qualities. Tom Kelley, the general manager of IDEO, is one of the world's most respected experts on managing innovation and design - how to make business more creative, not just in its products and services, but also in its thinking and processes. All the topics presented aim to bring together the collective creative community, including the professional organizations in interior design, architecture, industrial design, graphics, and marketing. The VANGUARD lecture series has been heavily sponsored by industry partners, design firms, and design individuals who believe in the need for this open communication about design and business. A portion of the proceeds from all events will be donated to the Museum of Design Atlanta.

This year’s Holiday Fête, on Thursday, December 14th, will be at the lovely, new showroom of François & Company (formerly Stone Age Designs) located in the Galleries at Peachtree Hills, adjacent to ADAC. The expansive space, reminiscent of a French chateau, with multiple mantles resplendent with holiday greenery and accents of frosty blues, pinks, creams and silver, will transport you to a different time and place. There are three levels of beautifully appointed stone mantles and architectural details to wander through while sipping a glass of red wine or chatting with your friends. A scrumptious menu of French-inspired foods, such as carved beef tenderloin au poivre or apple stuffed loin of pork, is sure to delight the palate. Meandering up the curving staircase will take you to the top floor of the chateau where the band and dance floor are located; so, you may dance off the extra calories consumed at the irresistible dessert table loaded with chocolate fondue, holiday Yule log, chocolate ganache cake and pear tart with whipped crème, just to name a few.

The Residential Roundtable The Residential Roundtable had its September meeting on group met on August 30th at Water the 27th at Living Spaces Studio at the Works in Buckhead. The topic for this roundtable was “The New Licensing For General Contracting.” We had Warner McConaughey, president of NARI and Kevin Veler of Veler Law Offices speak to our group of around 20 attendees about the new licensing and what is involved with the qualifications and to whom it applies. This was a very informative presentation and a definite eye-opener as to how our industry could be changing. We would like to thank Water Works for hosting our event | winter 2006 Galleries of Peachtree Hills. Kricket Harrison of Kricket Harrison Business Coaching presented a small seminar on “how to gain new prospects and close the deal.” We had 25 attendees and the event was a blast. Kricket was a delight and truly helped with giving us positive personal knowledge on how to get new prospects and how to close the deal, as well as time-management skills.

Robert Tabor capture the essence If the Shoe Fits features interview by Matthew Whitaker, Allied Member ASID Chris Little Artist Robert Tabor, who along with ReD Showroom, graciously donated one of his exquisite, one-of-a-kind shoe sculptures to ASID’s 2006 Annual Meeting, is the proverbial “man behind the shoe.” I had an opportunity to chat with him recently and learned how a boy from New England created a veritable empire of glitter and glam. MW: You have a degree in graphic design from The Art Institute of Boston and much of your career has been spent in the corporate design world. How do those years of experience apply to what you do today? RT: They provided me with great training and great discipline. And it was a natural segue into what I am doing now, which is equally as creative and artistic, if not more so. In addition to window displays, twice a year I design over one hundred to-scale sets for Barbie® and Cabbage Patch® toy products by Mattel. It’s great fun and a wonderful creative opportunity that keeps me connected to the corporate world. CHRIS LITTLE PHOTOGRAPHY WWW.CHRISLITTLEPHOTOGRAPHY.COM ATLANTA 770.641.9688 MW: You mention window displays. Please elaborate. RT: I combine my love for graphics and threedimensional art to create fantastical window displays for lots of different stores in New York and California, including Macy’s, Books of Wonder, The Pleasure Chest, and The Nickelodeon Store. Click on ad for more information on this company. MW: How did your shoe sculptures become the sensations they are today? RT: Jane Weitzman, of Stuart Weitzman shoes, spied one of my shoe sculptures in a collection of memorabilia in a Greenwich Village restaurant. She tracked me down and asked me to create a themed collection for display in the Stuart Weitzman store windows on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. Since then, I have done three additional collections for Weitzman. Kirkland Imports MW: Your shoe sculptures are so wonderfully unique. What’s the concept behind each piece and what goes into making them? RT: Well, I find vintage shoes and offer them one last bit of respect, one final go at life so to speak, and with lots of sparkle and glow. The basic shoe form is built up with polymer clay and sculpted to achieve the effect I am looking for, then oven-fired and adorned with sequins, glass beads, Swarovski crystals, feathers and such. If the shoe fits, I go with it. View Sole Sensations at www.roberttabor.com. | winter 2006 10 Click on ad for more information on this company.

It is the highest award bestowed by ASID on an educator at the chapter level. In 2006, Jeff Ashworth, Allied Member ASID was chosen as the first recipient of this award both in this chapter and in the nation. The chapter submitted pages of documentation detailing how Jeff met the requirements of outstanding service to ASID and Interior Design education for over 30 years. His contributions are now a matter of record. But impressive as those deeds, awards, and accolades are, they pale in contrast to the third category, “outstanding contributions to the community that have enriched the human experience.” Jeff is most deserving of this award because he is the most compassionate, people-centered person one could ever meet. Anyone who spends any time with him at all senses a genuine interest on his part to know who they are. Jeff is a great educator because he understands that a truly effective teacher is one who accepts the dual roles of leadership and servant hood. His life and record of accomplishments attest to his ability to lead, but his preference to serve. The Georgia Chapter is proud to have sponsored Jeff for this honor and to recognize him for his years of service. But most of all, we are grateful to call him a colleague, mentor, and friend. outstanding service and significant contributions to an ASID chapter, to the Society, and to the overall profession of interior design. Each of us understands with our volunteer service to ASID that it would be difficult to continue the success of our chapter without the dedication of a Chapter Administrator. In the 12 years that Grace has helped each President lead our members, she has served our Board of Directors and our members with dedication to our organization. Since Grace began her service to ASID, we have doubled our number of Georgia participants in each member category of Industry Partners, Students, and Design Professionals, totaling almost 1,600 members. It is Grace’s consistent leadership that has helped the Georgia Chapter become one of the top five chapters in this country. Her presence at industry and community-wide events has strengthened our relationships with media and industry contacts and allowed Grace to promote the work and knowledge of our members.

This year, CLC was held in Washington, DC. The locations will rotate between DC and a new location. Decorative Walls Chonda Turner, Teresa Sword, Peggy Pruett, and Crystal Kent work together to create a chapter flag at the board of directors conference in D.C. The purpose of the session is to familiarize the incoming board members with their duties for the upcoming year. Students, allied members and professionals from all the chapter boards meet at this annual meeting. Our participation was not only group-oriented, but task-oriented to our board position. It was an intense four days. The highlight of the four days was our visit to the Green House exhibit, sponsored by ASID, at the National Building Museum. It was a true bonding experience for all!
