Happy Birthday Jossi Design

It is always exciting to celebrate a birthday, and July brings us no fewer than THREE birthdays in the Jossi Design offices.

I turned one year older (no, I won't be telling you that magic number), one of the DUT students who is doing her experiential training with us celebrates a birthday this month and, most importantly, Jossi Design celebrates her 6th birthday. What an amazing journey we've had so far.


Onward to next year's birthday cake!

Design Inspiration

Whilst surfing through my favourite blogs, I came across this beautiful house by James D LaRue Architecture. Such clean lines, light and fresh with interesting details. Give me the keys, I could move in tomorrow!

Ever Shopped for Something Like This?

When an interior designer goes shopping, we go large! I spend my Monday morning at ISS trying to source the perfect slab of granite for my client's kitchen.

Granite is a natural stone, so when the blocks are mined you have no way of knowing what the actual cuts will look like. There will always be some form of variation in the pattern and colour, so being able to hand pick a specific cut of stone give our clients a unique and one-of-a-kind kitchen.

So we're not just scatter cushions and vases...

We've Got Piles!

If that subject line didn't get your attention, nothing will! We've had another busy (oh-so-busy!) week at Jossi HQ with client meetings, launches, relaunches and IID community projects. Having a look around the office today I can see that things are really starting to pile up (understand the subject line now?). Have a look at these:

Paint, paint, paint... Samples for our various projects.

Drawings, drawings, drawings... All getting collated and ready for tender.

Tiles, tiles, tiles... Tiles samples for our various projects.

Magazines, magazines, magazines... Falling a bit behind on our subscriptions.

IID General Meeting

On Tuesday 8th May, the second IID General Meeting for 2012 was held at Cobin Light in Windermere Road. Cobin Light specialise in exclusive lighting and offer decorators and designers full support for projects requiring lighting solutions.

Guest speakers were invited to present their various furniture and lighting ranges. Guest speakers included Mr Francesco from Spazio, Mr Georg Kloepfer from XAL lighting, Kenny Karstens spoke on home automation solutions, Karen McEwan from Osram and Mervin Wadsworth from QLite.

The meeting was very well supported by the members and we are hoping to keep the momentum of support for the remainder of the year.
