With more than 20 years of experience in interior design, decorative arts and architectural preservation, Chuck Chewning joined Donghia, Inc. in 2008 as creative director. While overseeing the development of Donghia’s accessories, furniture and textile collections, Chuck has already begun to implement his vision for enhancing and elevating the brand’s legacy. He has directed the revival of Angelo Donghia classic pieces such as the Volume Sofa, Madison Side Chair, Cantilever Tub Chair and Manhattan Sectional, as well as the creation of new pieces, in partnership with the Donghia Design Studio, such as the Monaco Sofa and Donghia’s new Legacy Collection of case goods with designer Joseph Jeup.

Based on his extensive time at Donghia, we asked Mr. Chewning about what he thought of Donghia’s evolution.

“Donghia has moved from the period of Angelo Donghia to John Hutton and Sherri Donghia to the present,” said Mr. Chewning. “Personally, I have focused on including designs of the period of Angelo and tried to take its collective history and create lifestyle collections that complement one another and have brand identity.”

Mr. Chewning also paid tribute to the brand’s noteworthy heritage with the Spring 2009 textile collection by incorporating new motifs with classic textures and themes. In addition, he designed Donghia’s first European showroom in Paris and oversaw the expansion and refurbishment of the Chicago, Dania, Las Vegas, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. showrooms.

His resume doesn’t stop there, so stay tuned to GoDesignGo tomorrow to learn more and hear what Chuck had to add to his impressive list of achievements.

Young Projects, designed to be less of a media gallery in the traditional sense, showcases two galleries of different aesthetic approaches. The first offers a gallery/black box setting designed by Joe Day of Deegen Day Design, which presents the work in a more contemporary setting, while the other offers a more home-like environment with state of the art equipment and comfortable seating.

At the two spaces that Paul runs singlehandedly at the PDC, the art ranges from political and technological to sensual, engaging themes and observed trends. All are presented with high-end equipment and inventive arrangement, including 3D animation and computer games, and have ranged from the conceptual to the painterly. He has even covered sensibilities from ’80s punk to feminist humor.

Check back with GoDesignGo for more on Young Projects at the PDC and check out the gallery Tuesday through Friday from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Digitally produced and available in any size, these murals can be sized up or down from the dimensions shown on the prints below, but only up to a certain point. They can be expanded in width to as much as 70 feet, which we can’t get over, because the original artwork goes on that for long without repeating.

The murals can also be printed on heavy paper, vinyl for commercial or heavy traffic areas, and an environmentally friendly substrate as well. Have a wall with odd dimensions? They can be framed or put above chair rails to eliminate the disparity or that awkward wall size.

There are several topics for the murals, but we’re only giving you a taste of a few for now. You can stop by the Sonia’s Place showroom to see more, including children’s themes.

View Thibaut’s new collection now on display and learn how original designs can be translated into wallcoverings and decorative art. A luncheon will follow at the Stark showroom.

The event takes place this Wednesday, May 25 at 11:00 a.m. at the DDB’s Stark showroom in Suite 1002. For more information, visit http://www.ddbuilding.com/.

The colorful creatures take wing amid a black and white gesture drawing of twining foliage. Birds & Butterflies is printed on a fine chintz cotton ground and we’re sure it will add a touch of Spring to a range of interior spaces as curtains or light upholstery.

“The accessories collection embraces English eccentricity with thick wool paisleys and mad patchwork blankets,” said Bernie de Le Cuona, founder and CEO of the brand. “But it still maintains a relaxed domestic look of neutral, understated linens in earthy tones.”

Floppy stone-washed linen cushions in whites and greys provide strong basics for a scheme while shearling black fur cushions are the interior’s answer to current fashion trends. The felt cushions have taken de Le Cuona’s paisleys to a new level by using a more heavily textured wool fabric to give the patterns a 3-D look. They also mixed pattern and color for throws and cushions with various tartans, herringbones and paisleys used together for a much funkier take on a classical English look.

“This has been one of the most successful design competitions Dwell has ever hosted,” said Holly Zogheib, Residential Shades Marketing Coordinator at Lutron Electronics Co., Inc. “The response was outstanding, as the competition attracted more entrants faster than any contest in Dwell’s history of online challenges! In addition to receiving a high quantity of submissions, the designs were also of very high quality!”

From now until April 26, you can vote for your favorite fabric design here. One winner and four finalists will then be chosen, so stay tuned to GoDesignGo to find out about the winning entries and the designers behind them.

“I absolutely love the colors in this collection,” said Lauren. “They are really fun, deep and saturated. Look at these pinks!”

Showroom Manager Carmen Bruni joined in the showcase and told us what she particularly loved in the collection. “The Lelievre collection is perfect for upholstery. I love the wool velvets and cut down pile mohair lines. The fabrics are softer than normal.”

“Lelievre is also typically pastel colors, so this collection is rare. These are vivid and bold,” added Lauren.

New things are happening at Stark, so stop by the DDB to see the Lelievre collection and stay posted to GoDesignGo for more updates.
