Around the World Designs from Design Star

By Vern Yip

Italy offers a wide variety of cultural experiences and Tracee's take on this country showcases the bold and modern design that can often be found there. By utilizing an attention-grabbing red color with black-and-white banding to add architectural interest, this room immediately demands attention. A bed that resembles a gondola, an organic cut-out that resembles an antique mirror and a representation of a chandelier-like element give the room an interesting two-dimensional feel that makes this room feel more like a cartoon set than a three-dimensional space. Ultimately, however, contestants are asked to push their boundaries to think outside the box and Tracee’s first individual project demonstrates that she has a definitive design perspective.
