High-End Design Is All About Having a Passion for Details

Irwin Weiner ASID - I want to usher in the month of November on Design2Share by reinforcing a point that's been made many times before: great interiors are all about the details. High-end furniture designer Promemoria has a video which lovingly shows the handmade ethic behind planning and executing all the details in furnishings that make them so beautifully high end.

From the sensuous curves of their signature Bilou Bilou chair (photo, directly above) to the beautiful finishes of their tables (see the Bassono table, top), they represent the tremendous attention to beautiful finishing touches that make our industry so satisfying to be a part of. Here's to maintaining a passion for all those beautiful details!

Wish List: Italian Style Home Goods from Promemoria

Irwin Weiner ASID - If you've ever had a decorating experience with a vendor, you know that some of the items they carry are grand and you'd use them for any client. Some things are so-so, and you hold your nose a bit and bear with it when a client falls in love with something not quite so wonderful ... but you go ahead with the purchase regardless because it's a client must-have. And then there are dreadful items where you ardently talk your client out of their infatuation with something akin to design drek. But a year ago, a ray of sunlight burst onto the New York City showroom scene, and while I've never shopped at Promemoria for a client - yet - I have a powerful hunger to buy out their store, so to speak. These Italian home goods are stylish and beautifully tailored, like items you'd see at the finest Italian 5-star hotel. I've included some of my favorites below, and for more information you can visit the Promemoria website. (And if any of my clients are reading this post, let's go shopping at Promemoria in 2012!)
