Design services from the collection culminate in the artistic and skillful invention of good design. It is a place where the techniques of the past are respected equally with the technology of the future. It is a complete and varied source for your decorating needs, be it one room or a mansion, one office or an entire complex.

Design is more than the arrangement of parts, details, forms or colors. It is the creation of an environment complete in function and style. Adherence to the finest principles of design insure the customer with a finished interior reflecting something of the owner's personality as well as the creative vision of the designer.

Interior Design Is Not Just "Decorating."

It is changing the dimensions of space, customizing to precise requirements, and calling upon worldwide resources. A qualified interior designer has completed a four-year college course in design. She must have the architectural training plus a working knowledge of construction materials and techniques. She must stay abreast of current technological advancements in her field. She must be able to recruit the skills of artists, sculptors, ceramists, upholsterers, woodworkers-craftsmen of all kinds- to insure the creation of an environment suited to her clients.

The Collection design team knows what is available and how it performs. They have everything you need to help you to make your selections: catalogues, finish samples, textiles, leather. They have the knowledge and training to help you spend your time and money wisely. They will execute the many phases of design to create the desired total environment. Their knowledge, and their collaborative effort, will be your assurance of a truly professional partnership.

Design Time is Yours Free

As long as your plans involve the selection of furniture and accessories from the Collection, there is no charge for design time. Consultation time with contractors, architects, craftsmen, and all drafting time will be based on an hourly charge or a fixed fee. All costs must be approved before a product is put into production. A contract proposal and a 50% deposit must be returned to the Collection before any work orders will be processed. A copy of all documents will be sent to you for your personal records. The balance is due upon completion of each contract.
