events | guest speakers | design san francisco

want to meet some more icons of the interior design industry?

at design san francisco 2010, all you needed to do was socialize with the guest speakers---renowned interior designers, furniture designers, and textile designers---at the product launches, and receptions that followed their presentations!

during his presentation 'doing it right: 21st century style', furniture designer dakota jackson explored how, by redefining early 20th century modernism, which he considers the base of 21st century design, he invents new products for today's environment. his furniture including, calypso, his latest collection, is available at the de sousa hughes showroom. 

'i design each piece considering the awkward moment between indecision and acceptance.'

during his presentation about 'thoughtful design: evolution vs. revolution', interior designer terry hunziker discussed the importance of design as a long term investment, using past and present images of his projects to show how, even with periodic changes, good design has longevity.  often, his projects feature custom furniture that inspires his furniture designs for sutherland, available at the shears & window showroom. 

'it's not about a lot of change---it's about getting it right the first time!'
