This is a final Interior Design Thesis presentations in movie form, from different semesters and different students. In their final thesis presentation the student needs to show all the skills he learned at Harrington College. The students can choose a 30-50,000 square foot project of their choice for the portfolio. They are writing a client profile, collect information, get inspirations, research the direction of their project, create a concept, do the diagrams for a program, build a model, sketch, develop the project in floor plans, create sections, developed the space, 3 dimensional elements (like stairs/openings in the space) and do the renderings of the space. The students are writing an environmental statement of the project. They choose furniture, colors, contrasts, materials, and create a detail. The Students have to ’sell ‘the project to the teacher and the critics and present their final project with an impressive presentation.

Meet Peter Klick, an instructor at Harrington, with his wife Dianne.  Peter is always eager to share ideas about the world with his students.  He teaches experimental design.  The word on the street is Peter is a designer who thinks outside of the box and encourages his student to do the same.  Kudos to educators who set and live by this example.

Students attentively listen when they meet with vendors  in the design trade.  Harrington introduces students to many companies.  This practice is so they  become familiar with the sources and that will be important for them in the real world!

Life can be complicated and busy.  With Aidan Gray Furniture, the simple feel and look allows your mind to uncomplicated….there is something to be said for simple. With Aidan Gray you can create an environment that reflects your personal style.  The Aidan Gray line has a classically aged and distinctive flavor. Their perspective is that nothing is ever too old or dilapidated, chipped or too worn.

Great Dining Chairs with style can be found at Aidan Gray. When you find that great dining table at your local flea market, these chairs  are the perfect fit.  Much of the Aidan Gray product is solid wood, spun and carved by hand.  Each piece then is distressed  by hand in a 5 step process.  The weathered Paris Finish is a heavily distressed finish which includes chunks of wood removed from the surface, heavy distressing and varying degrees of finishing on each side.

Aidan Gray is featured in some of the most prominent magazines such as Domino, Veranda, Elle Decor, D Home and Southern Accents just to name a few.

Constructed from European Oak each frame is carved and then burnished to a rustic patina and covered with elegant light linen and burlap.  Seat cushion is hand tied springs which delivers a firm seat lasting much longer than your basic stuffing.  Each loose cushion is foam wrapped down and set into a pocket before covering.

Bleached and beautiful.  Whether you love natural full time or for your vacation home, Aidan Gray hits a bulls eye with design and finish.  European Oak finishes are more rustic in their finish appearance and are not smooth to the touch.  You should expect a raised texture finish.

Aidan Gray has a broad line from upholstery, occasional to case-goods where you can accomplish the feel of simplicity through out your home. The Grand Roll Library Club Chair is constructed from European Oak and each frame is carved and then burnished to a rustic patina.  Seat cushion are in hand tied springs which delivers a firmer seat lasting much longer than your basic stuffing.  Each loose is a cushion foam wrapped down set into a pocket before covering.  Exposed nail heads lend to a more uneven edge appearance and bumps.

Many of us in the furniture world are in our retail and factory corners and aren’t often able to see all the many vendors that are out there.  Hans Morsbach is an uncommon source and is multi-faceted in his businesses. He owns  Shima Woodcraft, Medici Restaurant… serving the University of Chicago community and is the writer of his book, “Common Sense Forestry”. Hans has many interesting corners!

This is the  farm Hans owns, where he and his Amish neighbors use the trees to build their furniture and custom projects.  Hans bought this farm from one of his customers who ate at his restaurant, Medici in Hyde Park, the South Side of Chicago…home of President Obama!

Visit Hans up at the farm and see the hands on craftsmanship that goes into the furniture they make!
