Chelsea Copitas, owner and principal designer of CBC Design Studio, fuses her passion for interior design with her experience in working in multicultural work environments with a high degree of flexibility, creativity, commitment and optimism. Chelsea draws her inspiration from her travels around the world, exploring hidden gems in San Diego, and of course her clients. Here, Chelsea discusses her passion for exploring the world, her production process, and tips for selecting the right pillows for client design projects.

How did you get where you are today?
Chelsea Copitas: I am born and raised in San Diego. After graduating from the Design Institute of San Diego, I worked with several local interior design firms, both commercial and residential. I even worked on a few residential projects on my own. After traveling to India and doing some soul searching, I realized what I enjoyed most about design. I have switched my interior design business focus to textile design. I am currently designing my first two throw pillows that are being hand made and produced in India.

What’s the design scene like in sunny San Diego?
CC: The design scene really suits my style as it is a bit laid back and has a boho vibe. There are lot of local artisans.

From where do you gather inspiration?
CC: My design inspiration comes from my travels around the world! I love learning about new cultures and experiencing new things in new places. My business goal is to eventually have a different line of textiles that is inspired from different countries that I have traveled to.

How does designing make you feel?
CC: Inspired, I love being creative. From having an idea in your head to seeing it come to life and having others enjoy your work is so fulfilling. I want to share what inspired me in the hopes to inspire others.

What’s CBC Design Studio’s design philosophy?
CC: CBC Design Studio’s goal is to inspire unique and detailed designed spaces with textiles.

Describe your production process from inspiration to production?
CC: I seek my designs from my global experiences. I will start sketching a pattern, then decide on the details such as the patten repeat, colors and fringe/ tassels. Once the design has been finalized, I will send this over to the vendors in India. They will make a wooden block for the design based on the dimensions provided. After the wood block has been made, the production process of the pillow will start.

How do you typically work with interior designers?
CC: As I just started my business focusing on textiles I have not yet had the opportunity to work with other designers. However, I would like to see myself working with designers in the future. Ultimately would love the opportunity to collaborate with a designer on a textile line.

Can you offer interior designers some tips of best practices for sourcing pillows for a client space?
CC: I think it is important to note the pillow inserts; sometimes this detail can get overlooked. Some clients can have an allergic reaction to certain down or other synthetic fabrics. If the pillow your sourcing comes with an insert, I would be sure that it can be replaced, also for the longevity of the pillow.

In your opinion, why is it important for designers to use softwares like Ivy to manage their business operations and purchasing with vendors?
CC: I noticed that it is crucial to have a software system like Ivy to keep your business organized. It is nice to be able to refer to one program to keep track of the companies profits, as well as easily tracking orders. This is a huge time saver for the backend of your business!

What’s your focus for the remainder of 2018?
CC: CBC Design Studio’s future for the remainder of 2018 is going to be focused on expanding the India textile line and growing the business’s reach to other designers.

Did you know that master bathrooms just became the #3 most popular room to renovate as of 2017?

According to the seventh annual 2018 Houzz & Home Study, the median spent on a master bathroom remodel was $7,000 with larger bathroom remodels (100+ square feet) averaging at $16,000 and smaller bathroom remodels (<100 square feet) at $10,000.

But that’s not all….

Master bathroom renovations also came in second with the highest return on investment for remodeling. That is, four in five renovating homeowners reported that their master bathroom upgrade increased the value of their homes by 81% (coming in right behind kitchen renovations for 83%).

Whether your clients are looking to upgrade the value or standard of their homes, master bathrooms are definitely projects you should tackle next!

While a formal education is not an absolute must, most interior design firms require designers to hold at least a bachelor’s degree. A bachelor’s degree provides a more robust body of courses relating to the aesthetic, technical, and business talents needed to be a well-rounded interior designer.

The first step towards choosing a top interior design program is to make sure it has the proper accreditation. Programs accredited by the Council for Interior Design Accreditation (CIDA) voluntarily place themselves before the scrutiny of Council volunteers to ensure that students receive an education that will serve them as students and prepare them for future professional growth. Students enrolled in an accredited interior design program can be confident that they will be prepared for the National Council for Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ exam) and meet the quality standards recognized by the profession.

Ivy Podcast Guest: Darla Powell of WINGNUT SOCIAL

Darla Powell of WINGNUT SOCIAL brings a fun, genuine, down-­to-­earth approach to designing beautiful spaces. Since she launched her design firm in 2016, clients have fallen in love with her work, growing her business almost exclusively by word of mouth. In her past life, Darla spent almost 20 years as a Detective Sergeant in Miami, Florida. The two careers are more similar than you may think. Of course, as an interior designer there are 100% fewer shots fired (well, maybe 99%). One might say she is an expert on the importance of having complete tranquility at home after a stressful day at work.

Her background has carried over so many hidden perks including a strong sense of integrity, accountability, and a ready-for-anything-ness that is key for home renovation projects. Her career transformation was fueled by a need to express her boundless creativity. After endless childhood summers spent rummaging through her grandmother’s antique store, she developed an extensive knowledge of antiques, collectibles, and pieces that look perfect together. Above all, Darla loves creating rooms that are gorgeous, elegant, and soothing. Get ready to fall in love with your space.

In this Podcast, you’ll learn:

• Darla’s process of bringing on new clients and how she handles consultation fees
• The biggest mistake she’s made when working with a client and what she learned from it
• One important tip she learned from an industry peer
• How to be entrepreneurial in your approach to life

PELLE, based in Manhattan’s Flatiron District, is an independent design studio that couples the practices of engineering and art to create expressive design objects. Co-founded by Jean and Oliver Pelle in 2011, PELLE offers an original collection of hand produced, professional refined pieces, integrating artistic exploration with architectural integrity. With collections ranging from lighting and furniture to art objects, PELLE is continually expanding into new areas of design and materials.

Here, PELLE shares their creative & production process, their trade show strategy, and their inspiration behind the Beam & Glow collection which debuted at ICFF.

Jean and Oliver – your small studio team handcrafts each of Pelle’s products to order. What’s the production process like, from inspiration to finished product?

It is important to us to give ideas their own space to grow. We do not try to fit the development into current methods of production, but rather see where the idea ends up. Every idea takes a different path. Sometimes it is spontaneous and evolves quickly, sometimes it simmers over years before all pieces fit together. The open ended-ness is the exciting part to us. We have noticed over the years that a collection is not necessarily complete once we release it. There is inevitably more refinement over time on how we make it. The Bubble Chandelier Series was released by Jean in 2008 and evolves to this date. We still make little tweaks here and there.

How does designing make you feel?

We feel that we are in a fortunate position to really work for ourselves. We are not designing for others like we used to when we were architects. We create and ‘solve’ our own problems which is very exciting and challenging at the same time. Our work is very personal to us so designing creates equal feelings of exhilaration and anxiety. We hope that the new ideas resonate with people. In the end, successful design is also about communicating your thoughts to others in a way that creates a response. When the work gets a good reception, it is very gratifying.

What do you enjoy most about collaborating with interior designers?

Good interior designers have a unique ability to create intricate ensembles of objects, colors, and texture in space. We really like it when different styles and vocabularies are composed towards a larger whole. It can be really energizing. It is a pleasure for us to see how an interior designer can envision our work in new contexts.

“Successful design is also about communicating your thoughts to others in a way that creates a response.”

How do you typically work with interior designers?

We use our showroom to show the full range of our work from mostly lighting but also including some furniture pieces. It helps to show interior designers and architects our ability to work closely within their needs through our ability to customize much of our lighting collections.

Which trade shows and markets does PELLE prioritize and why?

We like being very deliberate in how our work is shown and experienced. That is why we spent considerable efforts into creating the right setting in our showroom as well as trade shows. Since much of our clientele is in the design trade, we like to debut new work for industry trade shows like Architectural Digest Home Design Show and ICFF.

Your Beam & Glow collection was introduced at ICFF in NYC. What was the inspiration behind the collection and how was the collection received at ICFF?

A lot of our work looks inward where we respond to our existing work in some way. We don’t like to repeat ourselves, so we are looking for a new point of departure. When we began thinking of a new collection, we had many different starting points ranging from working with new materials and techniques – precision bent aluminum – to exploring colored light sources. The design process between the two of us is quite fluid where we work by overlapping our ideas rather than excluding one over the other. Our work is always the result of both of us.

For the Beam & Glow, we became really interested in not only coloring the aluminum – hand-stained or anodized – but also the light source or LED lens. We wanted the Beam & Glow pieces to have a strong visual character that translates through the color of the metal as well as the color of the light. The simple geometry of the pieces hides the intricacies of its inside and showcase the chromatic colored lens that emits hues of rose and amber light. We wanted to create an immersive sort of lighting collection that can go beyond being simply a functioning light source. We were also very excited to receive the ICFF Editor’s Award for Lighting.

Based on your knowledge, at what point should a designer start to spec lighting for a space?

Generally, we like the idea that the interior is build around some core pieces. Lighting has a lot of impact on the space and can be very powerful if done right. The right light fixture can pull the ‘whole ensemble’ together, so to speak.

Since we build all lights to order, it helps if the designer understands the lead time as well as the opportunities to customize the lights to their needs. That all takes time, so it can never be too early in a project to pay attention to it. Our lead times are typically anywhere between 8-16 weeks depending on the size of the light. But for obvious reasons, it is not a good idea to wait until the last minute to order the light assuming that writing the spec document happened some time earlier. Carrying the right budget for lighting is probably one of the most important parts of the whole equation. That way, the designer and client can get the light they actually want, rather than what the leftover budget affords.

If you were to give a PSA to all interior designers, what tips would you share with designers to work effectively with their vendors?

It really helps if designers understand our product lines as well as our capabilities. We located our studio and showroom in the New York Flatiron District so that designers and clients can come to see our work in person in a central location. That little bit of time makes all the difference and gives the foundation for long term relationships. As designers get more familiar with our work, the more likely they can visualize it for upcoming projects.

“It is a pleasure for us to see how an interior designer can envision our work in new contexts.”

In your opinion, how has technology impacted the design industry?

Technology allows us to work more effectively as well as more deliberately. We have more tools to explore our ideas, more vendors we can approach to do custom parts we might need, and there are advances in LED technology that allows for more and more formal flexibility. Technology in general has a lot of positives with some drawbacks. It seems to make everything more immediate and digestible where images replace too easily the physical work. We still need to sort good ideas from not so good ones which in the end remains just as challenging as it always has been.

“Tripp-Mini Sconce”. Photo courtesy of PELLE.

As a business, how have you shifted your focus and strategy to thrive in today’s market?

We feel we have a unique point of view when it comes to design manufacturing and where we can make a difference is by proposing new ideas, providing superior product quality and service.

What’s next for PELLE?

We just made it through exhibiting at ICFF during New York design week and now we’re focusing more internally at the studio. On the top of our list is acquiring a screen projector for watching films during our lunch breaks!

This is especially true for products like our handmade wallpapers and tiles which can require a little more experience when estimating and installing.”
