A1 major road route to Edinburgh, Scotland
Having to explain exactly what Interior Design is has led me to explore other’s interpretations. I found an interesting form of words in the Edinburgh College of Art’s (eca’s) 2010 prospectus for Interior Design students. A bit ‘arty’, but I like it. Here it is:-
‘Interiors are measured in seconds, minutes, hours, days and months. We set up the room for dinner, and in a matter of hours it is nothing more than a stained tablecloth and a vase of wilted flowers. To design an interior is to imagine an unstable and ephemeral future.
Rather than make solid objects, Interiors students at eca conjure fragmentary visions. Models, sketches, drawings, writing and light flickering in a darkened room are not the thing itself. Rather, they point the way to an empty space that does not yet, and may never exist.’
This is a good starting point for a lively debate. Something for a long car journey perhaps?
