How do you translate Brooklyn – a cultural phenomenon and perhaps the most copied location in the world (bold, I know) – and take that style into home furnishings?
BKLYN Designs sought out a cross section of BKLYN’s top talent and put it on display in St. Ann’s Warehouse.
With little sense of irony, these designs spoke to sophistication and good old-fashioned green building. The kids from the famous borough really ramped it up this year. And the streets of DUMBO were filled with onlookers too.

It takes a lot of courage to create something from scratch. Melanie Bender, VP,
DMD Lab, knows this because she's done it. When she launched the pro bono project at DMD Insight last year, she had no idea that it would quickly develop into an entity of its own.
Fresh off of a coveted
SABRE Award nomination, Melanie reflects on Lab’s past, present and future, and how the company that was spawned from her passion for fashion can help labels brave the new world of commerce with smart partnerships.

Interior Design magazine hosted the selection of new products and projects on Dec. 3.
While the crowd was still excited about the Hall of Fame dinner from the night before, hundreds packed the theatre in the Guggenheim to celebrate the best new products and projects of 2009. The competition was stiff, too.

Growth. It was the buzzword at last week’s Greenbuild and as someone who attends multiple A+D events a year, it’s the first time that I’ve heard it associated with a tradeshow in 2009.
Perhaps it is the niche market, federal money, or relevance of sustainable design but Greenbuild’s numbers were up this year. The conference, which is less than a decade old, celebrated a much-quoted 30,000 visitors.

Obviously organizations would like to target the millionaires that can write big checks, but while digging for the big donation, groups may be overlooking many little ones that have the potential to grow someday.

Consumer decisions on sustainability; corporate investment in sustainability. Advertising clutter. DVR usage. Who really clicks on ads? Bloggers are a nice demographic, but not all the next generation is as online savvy as you think. Fine out more in the metrics round-up.

Most major credit card issuers are quickly moving into offering “green” credit cards that purport to give back to the environment by allowing users to channel a percentage of their spending towards purchasing carbon offsets and other environmental initiatives.

Sure, there might be an aesthetic association with BKLYN dress.You can picture it: Skinny jeans; Bright sun glasses; A tattoo or two.
But how do you translate Brooklyn – a cultural phenomenon and perhaps the most copied location in the world (bold, I know) – and take that style into home furnishings?
BKLYN Designs sought out a cross section of BKLYN’s top talent and put it on display in St. Ann’s Warehouse.
