I'm Josh Cooperman and this is Convo By Design. What is design? Is design the process of finding pretty, cool, unusual things, objects, artifacts and materials and then placing them in an order to appear pleasing? Is it a method of material placement, functional arrangement or is it something else? And, why does it matter? Right about now, you might be wondering what the hell. What's up, Josh? you good? I am. But I've been thinking a lot about this. I just recently completed a no code AI course through MiT. Yes, THAT MiT and while I can tell you that the math was a real challenge,, the concepts I learned were thrilling. And, it left me with more questions than answers. While everyone is talking about AI, I am hearing and seeing some things that I find disturbing. An example. Recently on Instagram, a notable personality in design was self-congratulating on the new product they created using nothing but AI tools thereby creating something that nobody asked for, nobody expressed a need for the design of this object and there was such glee in the idea that something had been created without any human influence save for the prompts used in a Midjourney rendering which was then given dimensions and finally produced. Designer Resources ThermaSol - Redefining the modern shower experience. Episode 271 featuring Mitch Altman Moya Living -  Beautiful, durable powder coated kitchen, bath & outdoor kitchen cabinetry Design Hardware - A stunning and vast collection of jewelry for the home! Okay, cool right? That is what I thought at first glance until I really started to think about it.  I started this show 10 years ago, I've been publishing at least one new episode every single week since 2013. I love design and I love the creatives that make up the industry. I think anyone who spends a fair amount of time around people understands that there always have been and always will be people who don't really understand the subject matter in which they work. It's the difference between a Bunny Williams, Alex Papachristidis or Martyn Lawrence Bullard and a designer who spends a few years designing their own home, realize how hard it is and then drop that to be a design business consultant. The industry is littered with them and ultimately, the clients they consult are usually out of the business in a few years. When I was in broadcast sales, it was the same. Someone would take a job selling airtime only to leave in a few years to start their own radio buying service. They were always a one-dimensional enterprise that would last a few years and then, off to something else.  Why am I asking about the “true” nature of design? We are at a bona fide turning point. There is an emerging technology in the form of AI that is going to change our industry forever. I think we are also in a place and time where there is a loss of respect for the creative side of the work in favor of less expensive, although it still has to look expensive. A new mentality that in someway makes if okay to take other people's ideas and creativity and change it just enough to make it seem new. It's not a legal question or even a moral one but a question of  ingenuity, creativity and the idea that creatives create new concepts, new designs, break some ground for goodness sake. I'm seeing less and less of this from those who are new to the industry. Designers and architects are creatives who make better the lives of those who inhabit the spaces they create. Full stop. it's not about how many awards you win, the lists upon which you find yourself and lord knows there are a lot of lists out there. It's not about the coverage in the trade pubs, because there are fewer and fewer of those every year. And it's not about making rooms look pretty or high luxury because at the end of the day, form is meaningless without functionality. “Form follows function-That has been misunderstood. Form and function should be one, joined in a spiritual union.

Martyn and I first spoke in 2019. We spoke at his showroom in the West Hollywood Design District and we spoke about set design, of which Martyn and I are both very fond. We talked about Tony Duquette and how the art of stagecraft allows Martyn to transcend the design with ideas and strategies for feel and emotional spaces. Use of non-traditional materials in unusual ways to create now objects. That is quintessential set decoration, masterfully employed. In this episode, Martyn and I have more time to really explore the ideas, history and experience behind his work.We recorded this conversation live from the brand new Soho Home Studio on Melrose Blvd. in West Hollywood. They are actually Martyn's showroom neighbor in an iconic space serving formerly as the Rose Tarlow showroom. Just an exquisite space that made for the perfect setting for our chat. Enjoy this edition of The Showroom, a one on one with Martyn Lawrence Bullard. Thank you Martyn for your time, I loved this. Thank you Soho Home Studio for hosting this conversation and our tenth anniversary party. Thank you for listening, downloading and subscribing to the show. If not already, please make sure you are subscribing to the show. You can find Convo By Design everywhere you find your favorite podcasts. Thank you to my wonderful partners and sponsors, ThermaSol, Moya Living and Design Hardware. Without you, I would not be able to do this and for that, thank you. Thanks again for listening. Be well and until next week, take today first. -CXD

It's not uncommon for shoppers at Round Top's spring and fall antiques shows to see a celebrity or two. This year's sightings included singer-songwriter Gwen Stefani. She was spotted shopping at Marburger Farm Antique Show on Saturday and later that night she and fiance/country singer Blake Shelton, were at an Italian eatery owned by Houston restaurateur Armando Palacios and his wife, Cinda. Stefani and Shelton announced their engagement last October and reportedly will marry this summer. The couple met when they both were coaches on NBC's “The Voice” in 2015. Instagram posts capture Stefani at various dealers' booths as well as a photo shopping with her interior designer, Martyn Lawrence Bullard, who in the past has visited Round Top antiques shows both as a panel speaker and with clients. Bullard's celebrity clientele includes Tommy Hilfiger, Ellen Pompeo and several in the Jenner-Kardashian family. TV personality Carson Kressley, of Bravo's long-running hit show “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy,” also posted his own Instagram photo — in jeans and a big ol' turquoise belt buckle — from his recent visit to Round Top. From Publisher: Houston Chronicle Gwen Stefani recruits Saweetie for ‘Slow Clap' The 51-year-old singer released a video Friday for a new version of her song “Slow Clap” featuring Saweetie. Advertisement The video shows Stefani and Saweetie singing and dancing in a high school gym and locker room. The pair are joined by several backup dancers. Stefani released the original version of “Slow Clap” in March. The song will appear on her forthcoming fifth studio album, Let Me Reintroduce Myself . “Generally, I just wanted to make an album that was full of joy and hope. I think the one line in [‘Slow Clap'] is, ‘Are you rooting for me like I'm rooting for you?' I feel like that was just kind of where I was at in that moment when I wrote the song,” she said. “I'm still writing,” she added. “I think that's what's been really fun about this project, is to be able to drop singles and actually still be working on new music as I'm doing it.”

During COVID lockdowns last year, Jake Arnold, a rising young interior designer based out of Los Angeles, teamed up with Leo Seigal, an entrepreneur. Together they built an ingeniously simple platform, The Expert, that connects clients with top designers for hour-long video consultations. So far their creation has been a hit, and designers, including Amber Lewis, Leanne Ford and Martyn Lawrence Bullard, have flocked to the site, where they charge up to $2,500 for 55 minutes of their time. On this episode of the podcast, Arnold and Seigal speak with host Dennis Scully about the story behind their venture, why bringing trade brands onboard is the next step, and how an elevated take on e-design could change the industry as we know it.This episode is sponsored by Baker + Hesseldenz and Serena & Lily LINKSThe ExpertJake ArnoldDennis ScullyBusiness of Home

Martyn Lawrence Bullard steps Behind The Rope. Martyn fills us in on what he has been up to since we last saw him on our TV Screens on Bravo's Million Dollar Decorators. By age twelve, he was using his allowance money to buy various objects at the local London flea market which he would later arrange and make look pretty. With dreams of becoming a movie star, prior to his design career, Martyn moved to sunny Los Angeles approximately thirty years ago. His first big break in design came from sitting next to Original Supermodel Cheryl Tiegs at a wedding. By the end of the wedding she had hired him to decorate her house and, from there, his design business started to take off. Martyn Lawrence Bullard Design was born. Martyn chats with us about his “Design Style” and his Design “Dos” and Dont’s”. We also chat about how Martyn was cast on Bravo’s classic “Million Dollar Decorators” and his relationships with his co-stars Mary McDonald, Kathryn Ireland, and Jeffrey Alan Marks.

Today, we talk about how we at Alice Lane Interior define luxury and ways to experience luxury in your everyday choices. We start our discussion by talking about a conversation between Whitney Robinson (former editor in chief of Elle Decor) and Martyn Lawrence Bullard (star on Bravo’s Million Dollar Decorators and decorator for Kylie Jenner, Khloe Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian, Tommy Hilfiger, Cher, Ellen Pompeo, and Eva Mendes), had on “what is luxury?” We discuss how luxury is not saving what you have “for best,” meaning that we should use and enjoy our finest possessions. We talk about a few products that we feel are luxurious. For instance, we recommend Lunya’s, The Robe, found here (https://www.lunya.co/products/the-robe-1?variant=31349641019435), luxury sheets (https://alicelanehome.com/collections/sheets/products/white-tencel-sheet-sets) and a counter spray called Rosewater Driftwood by Caldrea (https://www.caldrea.com/fragrance/homekeeping/rosewater-driftwood/). We talk about bringing home fresh flowers or clippings from flowering trees, and decorating with art or family photos. We finish by inviting you to subscribe to our newsletter, where you can find the links to everything we talk about on our show. https://manage.kmail-lists.com/subscriptions/subscribe?a=HZENWY&g=PFcqV5What is Luxury? 1:03Items and Routines of Luxury 4:12“Live So You Look and Feel Beautiful” 17:28“We sell a pair of sheets here at Alice Lane.

This is the seventh year of Convo By Design and I can tell you, this will be the most adventurous yet. Starting off strong in 2020, I want to share with you, the time I spent with designer, Martyn Lawrence Bullard. You know Martyn so I’m not going to go on with the big fluffy intro, instead, I want to tell you some things that you might not know… Martyn is a major personality, that you already know. But did you know that he is a television producer and an actor? Sure, you’ve seen him on Million Dollar Decorators and Entertainment Tonight but did you he was on The Young and the Restless? True, he also has a passion for Hollywood, theater and set design. This explains a great deal about his theatrical design.

Check out his remarkable hospitality design and listen to this episode… you will hear his design philosophy explained. Martyn and I met at his showroom on Melrose to talk about his participation in LCDQ’s Legends event.  He opened this store in 2017 and it is already a must-see destination on Melrose.

Alison Palevsky, interior designer and art consultant spoke with me about the career reboot, the pivot. She started her career as a talent agent trainee, for three years before realizing that was not what she wanted to do with her life. Alison shares her experience working with and for Trip Haenisch, Oliver Furth and Martyn Lawrence Bullard. This is more than a coming into ones own in the industry. This is about a focus on what one truly wants to be and then going out and getting it. This is about the reboot, refocused energy and attention on what you really want to be and then going and getting it. This is Alison Palevsky. #Palevsky #ConvoByDesign #Design #Architecture #LosAngeles

To make waves in the luxury design niche you need to be BOLD. The key to high-end design is crafting a signature experience. If you’re trying to pave your way in the niche, you have to be on top of your game. Julia Molloy joins Darla & Natalie in this episode of Wingnut Social to help you master luxury design. Julia is an expert with over two decades of experience and an extensive background in graphic design. She’s the founder of the BOLD Summit conference—and her business is luxury design. If you’re ready to position yourself as a luxury provider, Julia will help take you to the next level.  What You’ll Hear On This Episode of Wingnut Social [2:45] The Business of Luxury Design with Julia Molloy [5:25] What is the BOLD summit? [8:40] What to expect at the BOLD summit [10:50] What role does social media play? [15:50] The mindset of the luxury client has evolved [20:55] Luxury and quality are promises kept [23:55] The biggest obstacle designers are struggling with [30:40] Is the middle-tier dying out?

That it is too “lowbrow” for their status. But this is far from the truth. Julia says that it does play a different role, but it’s just as important.  A luxury designer needs to view social media as a building block.  Kelly Hoppen, Vincente Wolf, and Martyn Lawrence Bullard all have huge social media followings—because their online presence gives them street cred. Luxury is all about association and attraction. For this reason, you need media coverage and editorials. You need that social media following and a fan-base.  Keep listening as the ladies talk about how your marketing strategy needs to be taken up a notch and what that could look like—and hear a smashing Edna Mode impression.  Luxury design is all about design without compromise Many designers don’t want to choose the luxury niche because they have the misconception that the clientele they’d work with would be arrogant and elitist. But the world of luxury has shifted to be more inclusive and enlightened. The culture is evolving and so must you.  The new era of luxury are people who desire to live congruently with the way they feel inside—with no compromise.  Julia has a client that specializes in completely vegan luxury design. It isn’t that the clientele is snobbish, but they have the means to be specific about the customization level they desire. Your goal as a luxury designer is to deliver impeccable quality. Keep the promises you make to your clients—then take things up a notch.  Julia covers the biggest obstacle luxury designers struggle with, if the middle-tier still exists, and SO much more—so listen to the whole episode for all the juicy details!
