Earlier this year, Carnegie was asked by the staff at Ownby Design to donate wallcovering material to the Dream Rooms Contest for the Phoenix Dream Center in Phoenix, AZ. The contest, led by Desert Star Construction, was an opportunity for ten local design teams to each create warm and inviting rooms for women and their families at The Dream Center Rescue Project:

"The Dream Center Life Recovery program is a faith-based, residential recovery program that helps men and women overcome substance abuse, anger management and emotional struggles. The Dream Center Rescue Project operates two separate homes for underage girls and adult women (18-30) who have been rescued from human trafficking and sex slavery from the streets of Phoenix.The Rescue Project is designed specifically to meet all their needs including spiritual and emotional support, while providing an environment that is loving and caring."

Congratulations to all the design teams, sponsors, and volunteers who worked tirelessly to make these rooms a reality. Carnegie is proud to have been asked to participate.
The morning temps are getting cooler here in Phoenix, my car is washed and filled up with gas- I even have a new haircut! I am out showing a new collection from Carnegie, drumming up excitement over new collections and fabrics from Summer Classics Contract and amazing decorative glass from Skyline Design, and getting the word out about Chelsom Lighting and Interna. Looking forward to seeing you all in the weeks to come!
Are you in Chicago this week to see all that's new at Neocon? The Mart can be tricky to navigate so below I've listed the showroom numbers to the companies represented by The Material Collective. I hope you get a chance to see the innovative wallcoverings from Carnegie, the stunning Knoll patterns incorporated into Skyline Design glass, and the elegant outdoor lounge and dining furniture from Summer Classics Contract.

What a great video and explanation on why interior designers matter...take a look:
Halo Collection: The finesse and grace of our Halo collection invites tranquility and eye-catching simplicity with double woven panels of N-dura resin wicker that conform to the body in exquisite form. Excellent for coastal and lakefront use, Halo is a divinely contemporary alternative to the adirondack chair. (Halo is designed by Robert Taunton.)

Express Your Vision: Printing on Glass with Dynamic,
Colorful, Creative AST™
When University HealthSystems Consortium (UHC),
an alliance of health professionals, relocated from the suburbs to downtown
Chicago, it utilized the move as a rebranding opportunity. Partnering with
Cannon Design, UHC created a unique space inspired by the systems of the human
body. And Skyline offered the vast color printing capabilities of our AST™
technique to create full-color, five-foot-diameter eyes that signify the
organization’s vision in the company’s boardroom. Combined with our Eco-etch®
technique, the end result is a two-sided translucent wall offering light and
privacy. We also printed UHC’s new gradient dot globe logo with AST on
Vitracolor® panels in the reception area, then adhered them back-to-back with
our proprietary Vitracolor Assembly process to provide a magnetic markerglass
wall for the adjacent conference space. Communication, privacy, and
collaboration—all done beautifully with glass.
