3. GEORGInA M C WhIRTER

A contributing editor at Architectural
Record, Cultured, Greensource, and
Surface, David Sokol also writes
regularly for Interior Design. He is
the author of The Modern Architecture
Pop-Up Book (Rizzoli) and is penning
the second volume of Nordic
Architects (Arvinius). In this issue,
the New York–based writer—who
often tackles hot-button topics for
Perspective—grills interior designers
and recruiters about industry hiring
practices (page 40), and how they
reflect current economic trends.

A recent transplant from New
Zealand’s South Island, Georgina
McWhirter works as a book editor
and writer in Manhattan. She
has contributed to magazines and
literary journals such as Vogue Living,
Interior Design, and Landfall. In this
issue, she investigated the burgeoning
phenomenon of coworking (page 28),
rounding up a selection of innovative
spaces worldwide—including
Spacecubed in Perth, Australia, from
which she penned the article.

Design pet peeve: “My pet is a
cat, and my pet peeve is a copycat.
Without naming names, I fi nd it
unnerving that otherwise principled
manufacturers will jump on a
bandwagon and then scavenge it.”

Design pet peeve: “Bad art in cafés,
fake flowers, McMansions, people
who use the Glamour Glow
Photoshop fi lter on portraits, wobbly
restaurant tables, inspirational quote
wall decals, beds with too many tiny
throw pillows…the list goes on!”

4. ADRIAn WILSOn

San Francisco native Shonquis
Moreno is a freelance journalist and
design consultant who splits her time
between Brooklyn and Istanbul—
the location of an innovative
gaming-room project she covers
in this issue (page 60). She has
contributed to such publications
as Surface, Dwell, Wallpaper, Architect,
The New York Times Style Magazine,
and Whitewall, and previously
served as design editor for Frame.
Moreno has also written books on
topics ranging from window display
to packaging design for Gestalten,
Birkhauser, and Frame Publishers.

British-born photographer
Adrian Wilson shoots interiors
for clients as varied as Apple
and Architectural Digest. The New
York–based lensman has also helped
judge the IIDA awards. He recently
photographed the book Leasing NYC,
whose author—Gregg Lorberbaum—
we interview in this issue (page 18);
Wilson’s evocative portraits of
commercial office-scapes accompany
the article. In his spare time, Wilson
lectures on his historic collection
of vintage typography and branding
and takes joyrides in his beloved
gold-painted 1971 Buick Riviera.

Design pet peeve: “Everybody
having to pretend, for commercial
reasons I guess, that there’s
something thoroughly new designed
every five minutes.”

Design pet peeve: “Bathroom doors
that you have to pull open, versus
push; who wants to touch a dirty
handle? Also, I think it’s bizarre that
the idea of ‘futuristic’ design is
pretty much the same style as can
be found in 40-year-old movies like
2001: A Space Odyssey or Sleeper.”

On page 56, we
asked interior
designers from
nashville’s
Earl Swensson
Associates to
share their design
pet peeves, and
thought it would
be fun to make
our contributors
divulge their own.

and Vintage Furnishings. The New
York hyphenate, who holds an
architecture degree from the
University of California at Berkeley,

as well as editor at large of Interior
Design magazine. His writing has

World of Interiors, The New York Times
Magazine, Elle Decor, Architectural
Record, and House Beautiful, among
others. He has also authored
a criticism column for British journal
Architectural Design. In this issue,
he interviewed manufacturers about
the future of showroom design
(page 24).
Design pet peeve: “White baseboards
in colored rooms.”

6. KIMBERLy RIChTER
Interior designer Kimberly Richter
is project manager of Perspective,
for which she functions as a de
facto embedded reporter. She is
the Branded Environments Design
Manager at Perkins + Will Chicago,
where she specializes in building
integrated spaces and developing
strategies that tell a client’s story.
Richter worked for fi lm-production
company Ridley Scott Associates
and HBO prior to earning her
master’s in architecture—with an
emphasis in interior architecture—
from the School of the Art Institute
of Chicago.
Design pet peeve: “Safe design.
When a project team is awarded
the opportunity to design, redesign,
or rethink—and the result is exactly
what everyone expected.”

7. BuD RODECKER AnD
BETh WEAVER
This issue’s graphics—from the
custom typefaces to the high-concept
page layouts—were spearheaded
by Bud Rodecker and Beth Weaver
of the Chicago–based design
collaborative 3st. Together, they’ve
continued updating Perspective’s
award-winning visuals to make
the publication even more inspired
and compelling. Both have serious
design chops. Rodecker, who teaches
typography at DePaul University,
has had his experimental work
represented in the Chicago Design
Archive, Graphis, and several other
publications. Prior to receiving
her MFA in graphic design at the
Rhode Island School of Design,
Weaver double-majored in theater
design and Spanish studies at
Butler University and received her
interior design BFA from Harrington
College of Design.
Design pet peeve: When our physical
space doesn’t line up on a grid...
especially where the fronts of our
desks meet.
