President's Message
Aloha Members and Friends,
This month will be a busy one for me, I will be travelling to Maui twice, attending our 2nd annual Design and Construction Holiday event on Oahu and hopefully visiting the Big Island as well. During my visits I will be explaining what we have instore for the year, but I come with an open year to listen to your ideas about what you think the year should bring.
If you recall, in my message last month I told you I wanted to shake things up a bit. After having been away from the board for five years and coming back with a fresh eye it appears to me that the awards have begun to absorb too much of our chapter resources. Aside from resources, we need to change the time of year in which the event takes place. We also need to expand our resources for funding the event so that our membership dues can be freed up for new possibilities. So, you will not see a call for entries this spring. Instead it will come in the fall for a spring event in 2019. In the meantime we hope to have put in place a viable fundraiser for the awards.
We will continue our efforts to provide CEUs locally. And, of course, I hope I will see some of you at the Holiday party on December 1st at the Ko’olau Ballroom. Let’s not let AIA and NKBA outnumber us and have all of the fun!

A Healthy Return
Metropolis
Rethinking the workplace with millennials in mind has been a hot topic in design circles for nearly a decade. But if you look closely, the rethink goes deeper than that. New studies show that while millennials may have been the catalyst for change in offices across the country, organizations are taking the opportunity to look at the well-being of all of their workers in order to design a workspace that is productive and uplifting. Susan S. Szenasy, our director of design innovation, sat down with a panel of design experts at the Haworth showroom in Dallas to learn more about the business case for well-being and how improving office design can limit employee turnover and improve performance.
The Rustic-Chic Trend is Taking Over Interiors
Multi-Briefs
Designers are more ready than ever to embrace emerging technology and blend it in with affordable designs to create state-of-the-art interiors. The focus of their work has slowly shifted from being designer-centric to being more people-centric.
It's really hats off to the ingenuity of the designers who have come up with trends like the rustic-chic look. Yes, this force has been driving the interior design industry for some time, but never has the rustic-chic trend been as in demand as it is now.

This '80s Decorating Style Is Making a Comeback
The Washington Post
Pop culture from the 1980s is having a bit of a moment, and it’s not just because of “Stranger Things.” Bold, blocky, geometric forms, reminiscent of the design phenomenon known as Memphis, are making a comeback, according to Los Angeles-based interior architect and interior designer Jamie Bush.
The Reality of Integrated Design
Building Design Construction
If the first 10 percent of design effort accounts for 90 percent of project success, how might that reality change the design effort? How does it change an owner's expectations of how the team works and communicates throughout the project? This 10/90-split idea is the reality behind an integrated design philosophy.

One Voice
Each day interior designers use their voices and visions to reshape spaces--and therefore the lives of those occupying them--for the better. With those same voices working in unison, they have the power to design a better future for themselves and the entire profession.
