Biomimicry: Taking Cues from Nature to Create More Sustainable Products and Interiors
Interiors and Sources

Here, we speak to professionals making strides in both.

There are grand oil paintings hung on the walls, heavy velvet curtains draped over the windows, jewel-toned ottomans fringed within an inch of their lives. There is no subtlety, no simplicity, no minimalism here—instead, there’s extravagance, elegance, and maximalism. And, as it turns out, these over-the-top interiors are now inspiring real-life decor.

Become a Chapter Sponsor
ASID Hawaii Chapter strives to work in support of our local interior designers by providing opportunities for continuing education, advocacy for the profession, social events and recognition of Design Excellence through our annual awards gala. While a small portion of our annual membership fees provides seed money for these activities, it is through annual sponsorships from our collaborative team of design firms and industry partners that the financial and personalized support is found to realize the programs and functions the membership expects.
As a sponsor of ASID Hawaii, your company can engage with members, participate in events, host meetings, and sponsor activities. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to increase visibility through additional marketing, branding, special access, and deeper engagement with ASID members. Sponsorship is an excellent opportunity for your business to gain exposure and showcase your products and services to our local interior design community.

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. That is why ASID began One Voice; to empower interior designers to get involved and advocate for or against the public policy that will ultimately influence their careers and lives.
