Live Brief Time!

 I have been such as busy bee during this project and haven't had as much time to blog as much as I would have liked. For this project we are working with a live brief, which means working with clients who work with in either the fashion industry or interior design industry.

 Our tutor set up meetings with two clients and after listening to the brief of each one, we then had to choose either the fashion based brief or the interior based brief. The chance of working with either client would have been a great experience, but I believed the best brief for me would be the interior design brief. For this project we are working with interior designer Alison Cooper. Our client is Mr. Jonathan Walker-Kane, a barrister with a home in Thurlstone, Sheffield. 

 The room Alison is re-creating, is a Victorian styled dinning room, in which the interior is totally wrong, as the house was built in the Arts and Crafts era. Alison has a table and chairs been made similar to ones designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh. The room's colour scheme is to be very pale grey and the drapes are a light weight silk in pale grey and oyster. 

 Our task is to research into Charles Rennie Mackintosh, as well as other Arts and Crafts artists. From this we are to take inspiration and create our own design to be printed onto a fabric which will then feature on a armchair Alison is having made for the dinning room. The winning design will be used for this armchair.
