So What Is Design Tavern.. ?

The DesignTavern is a blog based website; dedicated to supplying readers with:

Interviews:

We have conducted interviews with artists, designers and architects from all over the world – and have met some amazing people in the process. People from all different walks of life, but all with a few things in common; an amazing passion and integrity for what they do and what they stand for.

News:

News from around the globe; other blogs, emails, newspapers as well as other medias are scoured to bring readers interesting and up to date news on all things art, architecture and design.

Reviews:

Reviews on products from a broad spectrum of manufacturers and companies. Also; book reviews from the latest and greatest authors on art, architecture, design and all in between.

Inspiration:

Finally, and most importantly, Design Tavern serves as a source for design inspiration for creative individuals and anyone wishing to add a little creativity to their home or community.

Hi, I’m Henry and I write DesignTavern.com

A university student, about to commence my 4th year of Architecture and Construction Management, I love surfing the net in the constant search for news and inspiration from the architecture and design world and sharing it with my readers.

My personal design philosophy is continually evolving; I favour ‘green’ design and ecologically sustainable building methods (who hasn’t caught on yet!) but also favour minimalist, contemporary, form follows function approaches to design. Although, I have a bit of an ironic soft spot for concrete design, despite my passion for encouraging more sophisticated and sustainable methods.

I started Design Tavern in order to help others in the industry get their work noticed and to keep readers informed of new products, events, competitions and all news in the ever changing industry that

is art and design.

Hi there,

It appears I’m a guest contributor on design tavern! How’d that happen?

I really love design (though I’m untrained) and writing (though I’m not a writer.) My background is book publishing, via cinema studies and journalism, and I have particular interests in graphic design, interiors, floral design, furniture and illustration – and I love when these fields merge. (I also love architecture but know nothing about it, so I’ll leave that up to Henry.) I’m utterly enamoured with books and music and hence I have a particular fetish for beautiful book design and band posters.

Other interests include obsessively reading design blogs and magazines, coffee, eBay and typography.

Melinda.

Hello friends,

How lucky am I to be a contributor on design tavern?

I am an aspiring Interior Designer (a second year Masters candidate in Washington, DC) who is passionate about developing my craft so that one day I can create interesting, dynamic, and thoughtful spaces. I enjoy sharing with others great design and all of the lovely things that I find inspiring.

Hope you enjoy my posts.

xx,

Sam
