November 29, 2008

I wasn’t always a stay-at-home mom.  Before we moved to Texas, I was designing home decor for the family-owned business.  We export metal sculptures, both functional and decorative, to other countries…to Europe and the US mostly.  In my eight years as product designer, I consider these balcony frames to be my babies…

Design ideas pop into my head in the same way visions come to clairvoyants – abrupt and inexplicable.  Hahaha!  Balcony scenes in a residential building, say a condominium or a hotel, was the main concept for these wall decorations.  I designed 10 different scenes in all but was only able to bring 9 with us here in Texas.  Of the 10 balcony frames, three of them made it to a store chain in the US – ZGallerie.  They are the following:


“Balcony Conversations”


“Painter on the Balcony”

These three frames had a good 4-year run with the the store.  For a fun that long, I wonder if they ever made it to las vegas hotels. Hahaha. But it doesn’t really matter. :)

Enjoy the rest of the Thanksgiving weekend! :)
