I thought I would post today about world renowned designer Ilse Crawford. Ilse launched Elle Decor in London in 1989 and then did a stint at Donna Karan as Vice President of Home Products followed by becoming the head of department at the Eindhoven Design Academy in Holland - regarded by many as the best design school in the world - a post she still holds today. During this time Ilse also started her own design studio, Studioilse working for companies such as Waterford Crystal and Swarovski. Ilse dived into the deep end in 2003 when Soho House New York opened in the Meatpacking District - Crawford had never before designed a hotel interior before this - it was an immediate success. The ever multi-tasking Crawford has designed furniture and even written a few books. Her book, Home is Where the Heart is, is an intellectual and emotional study of what we consider home to be. Her first book, Sensual Home is, to many, a bible in the design world. What an inspiration this woman is. I have listed a few photos above of Ilse's work.
