Celebrating World Interiors Day 2011

In celebration of World Interiors Day 2011, the DCE Interior Design + Decoration department hosted drinks for final year students last Thursday and invited renowned designer and educator Madeline Lester to address the crowd. Madeline proudly read aloud the historic Interiors Declaration recently produced by the International Federation of Interior Architects/Designers (IFI) after months of research, global think tanks and meetings involving interior designers from every continent. The declaration is an inspirational statement of the value, relevance and identity of the interior design profession.

You can listen to and download the declaration by visiting the IFI site at www.ifiworld.org

Madeline then presented awards to the winner and runner-up of the Student Interior Decoration category at this year's DesignEX - Kriszta Gabor and Jessica Cotton. Congratulations to the girls from all at DCE. We'll be posting their winning work soon - watch this space...
