Jennifer West is pleased to introduce Geology from Phillip Jeffries Ltd. Authentic honed slate
is sold in a flexible panel format, creating a one-of-a-kind wall statement.
April is a time of inspiration. Farmers across the Pacific Northwest are seeing
their efforts sprout into long rows of vibrant vegetables. These fertile grounds
make it possible to grow such a diverse crop, and farmers markets are a sight to
behold. Mounds of carrots with green pony tails sit next to a pyramid of golden
beets, which are outlined by a flurry of lettuce varieties. Cucumbers, peppers and
tomatoes are on their way! Excitement is in the air - bountiful salads are here.
Years ago, Molly got her inspiration in a little farmers market in Moscow Idaho.
Today, we invite you to have lunch at our café. Review your biggest design ideas
over a comforting bite in the light filled Atrium. We serve sandwiches, salads
and hot soup—all made from our local partners who put care and soul into their
organic bread, pasture-raised meats, hormone-free cheeses, and beautiful organic
vegetables.
We’re open every weekday, starting the morning with breakfast and organic
Stumptown coffee and then serving lunch. We look forward to being a nourishing
part of your day.
Hours: 8:00am–3:00pm, Monday–Friday
Molly’s Inspiration
page 3
I’ve spent a great deal of time lately pondering design as a force of change.
Design that recognizes a need and generates the desired outcome is
transformative. We’ve been fortunate to see a lot of that transformative power
in and around the design center in the past few months.
The photos from this year’s Northwest Design Award winners on page 4
certainly show the aesthetic nature of design. The quality of these solutions
gets richer, I think, when you layer in that these projects addressed broad
design challenges, like creating a room that can serve many possible needs with
limited adjustment, larger corporate spaces that include both better flow and areas for collaboration,
or seamlessly integrating existing structure with new construction, while modernizing it all.
On a more personal note, I am very proud of The Chair Project. The finished works premiered at
the Northwest Design Awards Gala (page 14) and proved to be a tremendous addition to an already
exciting event. While the chairs are symbols of change themselves because they have been physically
altered, they will carry that transformative power forward while being auctioned August 19 at SDC
to benefit Pratt Fine Arts Center. For me, the even more interesting change as a result of this project
has been the collaboration we required between designers and artists. Conversations were started,
relationships either furthered or borne, and artistic and design influences shared and married, which
will likely affect the future creative landscape of all teammates.
We have an exciting new cycle of Third Thursday seminars on the calendar that should stretch your
interests in a number of directions. Along that theme of agent of change, John Bielenberg will be
joining us in September to talk about Project M, a group of designers, writers and photographers
brought together from around the world to challenge the conventions of design. To think wrong, as
John calls it.
So here’s to thinking wrong.

cover story
Seattle Design Center celebrated the best of regional interior design with the 12th annual Northwest Design Awards competition. Northwest designers, architects, landscape architects and students competed in 10 competition categories. A panel of local design experts evaluated submissions through an anonymous process, measuring each on the basis of proportion, composition, use of space, lighting, materials and appropriateness of the design solution.

50 years, Sunbrella’s performance fabrics are moisture and mildew-resistant, bleach-
cleanable, and fade-resistant and light-fast to 2200 hours. A versatile range of designs,
the majority exclusive to Robert Allen, include traditional floral motifs, multi-colored

1 1 | T R A M M E L L– G AG N ÉBrentano turned to Crypton and Crypton Green
finishes to add increased durability and cleanability
to these high-performance fabrics. The medium-
scale, geometric print of Kinetic offers a fresh
take on plaid that is ideal for office chairs, lobbies
and waiting rooms, while the large-scale pattern
of Flourish has areas of contrasting matte and
lustrous sheen, making it suitable for healthcare
and hospitality interiors requiring a high-end
look. Because it is woven from 100 percent post-
consumer recycled polyester and is finished with
Crypton Green, Kinetic is also part of the expansive
Brentano Green label.

colors or subtle, tone-on-tone options

showroom news
MJ InteriorsHe’s going for fresh design that takes risks, design that doesn’t take itself so seriously, and most
importantly, he’s doing that by taking over ownership of the showroom. MJ Interiors, formerly
L. Greenberg & Associates, represents a move for owner M.J. Heuring who feels like he’s found
his stride. “People have been very supportive upon learning about this little plan of mine,” says
M.J., “and I’m very optimistic about the business and the design center, and really happy to be
a part of it all.” New directions include the addition of Selva, an Italian-made line of casegoods;
Aidan Gray, Belgian French fauxtiques; and an upholstered collection from John Derian. Existing
lines have been expanded, with the result being an impressive composite of transitional, slightly
contemporary styles with really clean lines. “I am really passionate about furniture, and I think it’s
an exciting time to have some fun with this stuff, to get back to decorating,” says M.J.
