My recent trip to Italy left me in awe once again of Italian designers.  I admire them for their artistic expression in everyday life.  They don’t see art as props and contrived set designs.  Rather, it is their sense of style that guides and directs them to a life full of wonder and appreciation for the great artisans that built their gorgeous land.  From the natural masterpiece that was created on the back wall of this Rolex boutique or

The clever use of recycled materials that breathed new life into these planters filled with nature’s best that lined the prestigious Via Montenapoleone in Milan.

The Italians know what many of us only aspire to recognize.  When the time comes to hire your next event designer or attempt to hang that title above your name, always ask yourself…am I looking for a designer that knows how to arrange props in a room or one that has knows the difference between design and style and uses their style to make life a little more beautiful?
