A Thoughtful Eye

 

A Thoughtful Eye online blog, written by Danielle Boudrot, highlights some of the exciting works on display at the NYC Architectural Digest Home Design Show.  She describes her blog as her “exploration of the visual world. As a classical musician, I embark on this journey from a unique perspective. My passion for art and interiors comes from the most genuine place. As a self educated interior designer and photographer, I have soaked in all I know from books, magazines, museums, art galleries, antique shops, home and design stores, fashion and of course websites and design blogs! I’m excited to meet new people, hear their personal stories and above all, live a life filled with all things beautiful!”

Read her statements about Kaminer Haislip’s designs and see the gorgeous images she took of her silver at the show. She certainly has a thoughtful eye!

Contemporary silversmith Kaminer Haislip will be exhibiting her functional, sculptural hand-crafted designs in the MADE section of the Show.  The MADE section was launched in 2008 to provide individual artists and designers of limited edition and/or one-of-a-kind objects and furnishings with an opportunity to promote themselves at the Show. Although artisan work has always been a part of the Show’s offerings, MADE highlights this work with a voice of its own rather than being mixed among corporate production brands.

Kaminer Haislip’s collections presented in the MADE section will be available for purchase on-site and customization capabilities will be offered.
