Furniture Marketing, 2nd Edition, contains an overview of how
furniture products are developed, marketed, and presented to
targeted retailers and consumers. Bennington focuses on developing
an appreciation for furniture as a functional art form. This new
edition covers the entire industry, including types of furniture,
design periods, product development, and manufacturing. The text
also explains how to sell furniture through pricing, promotion, and
distribution. Residential furniture is the main focus of Furniture
Marketing, but there is a chapter on contract furniture. This book
can serve as a helpful reference for students as well as beginning
and experienced employees of manufacturers, retailers, and
wholesalers.
This comprehensive text introduces the reader to the entire process
of planning residential interiors. Extensive full-color photos and
diagrams augment the text to explain what an interior designer
should know to work with other professionals, such as architects,
electricians, and plumbers, to meet clients' housing needs. The
focus on contemporary American housing trends is enriched with
references to interiors from the past and from other countries.
Naples, Florida, is known internationally for its stunning beaches,
cosmopolitan ambience, and captivating architecture. Originally
settled in the late nineteenth century, the seaside resort town is
blessed with abundant historical architecture. One of the Sunshine
State's first ""planned communities,"" the city is consistently
recognized as one of the top growth areas in the United States. As
a result, the original beach homes, most built between 1895 and
1950, are today threatened by land development and new
construction. Dream Houses is the visually inspiring record of the
private homes in the historic district of this iconic Florida beach
town. It captures the visual, factual, and familial history of
these homes as they have, over the course of decades, survived
hurricanes, commercial development, architectural evolution, real
estate upheaval, and frenzied economic growth. Joie Wilson and
Penny Taylor were given privileged access to these houses; together
they reveal the beauty, anonymity, and privacy these homeowners
have discovered. This once-in-a-lifetime glimpse into these
charming homes is an architectural and interior design delight; a
unique look at some of the most distinctive beach cottages
remaining in Florida.
"Meeting Matteo, over 10 years ago in Hoxton Square has led me to
develop a genuine respect and curiosity about his work and
approach. I was excited and apprehensive when I decided to write
his story. Such a responsibility. This book is not simply about
Matteo's transformation from Marketing to the world of Interior
Design over the past decade, but more about what inspires and
drives someone and how they get through it. "From nothing, Matteo
has created a design studio with a reputation for elegance, quality
and quirkiness. I feel lucky to have been allowed such unlimited
access, which has brought me closer to Matteo. I hope what I have
discovered keeps you turning the pages, as I know that there is a
lot more to come. Have a look for yourself." Matteo Bianchi is an
award-winning Interior and Product Designer with an entrepreneurial
flair. Born in Venice, Italy, Bianchi's inherent passion for design
led him to train at the Chelsea College of Art & Design in
London, after a career in marketing and advertising. Matteo Bianchi
is the Founder and Director of Matteo Bianchi Studio, launched in
2007 and he also teaches Interior Design related courses at The
Interior Design School, London and Chelsea College of Art in the
United Kingdom and The United Arab Emirates. Matteo Bianchi's
Studio combines unexpected, unique and refined Interior and Product
Design.
