GIVES BACK

"[Designers] have a profound
understanding of the impact
that good design has on our
psyche and wellbeing."
-STEFFANY HOLLINGSWORTH, HVL INTERIORS

BY ROBERT NIEMINEN

Three charitable organizations leverage the power
of design to make a difference in our communities
DESIGN IS A UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE. IT TRANSCENDS
AGE, SEX, RACE, AND CULTURE AND TOUCHES
HUMANITY BY IMPROVING ITS CONDITION IN
TANGIBLE WAYS. But, for design to have efficacy, designers
must possess and exercise empathy-the capacity to identify
with the end-users of the objects and spaces they create.
The power of design to transform lives is displayed most clearly
when it is leveraged to impact communities and the people
who inhabit them. Thankfully, one doesn't need to look far
within the design field to find examples of this generous and
compassionate spirit at work. Indeed, it's part of what makes
this industry such a special one.

As such, i+D recently spoke with several organizations that
are paying it forward, so to speak, by utilizing their talents
and resources for the benefit of the common good. Although
different in their respective missions, what they share in
common is a desire to have a positive impact on the world-
one that will hopefully inspire the next generation to follow suit.
ASID Foundation: Advancing the Industry

the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) believes
that design can transform lives. ASID has a long-standing
reputation in the industry of showcasing the impact of
design on the human experience and the value interior
designers provide.

we are at our best when in

To that end, the organization created the ASID Foundation in
1975 to advance the interior design profession by drawing upon
its resources to promote meaningful collaboration and research,
award scholarships, and fund projects that broaden the value
of interior design. To assist in its efforts, the foundation was
recently the recipient of a generous donation made possible
through a design partnership between Kohler Co., Cosentino,
and Benjamin Moore & Co. as part of a special joint marketing
effort in which a number of design firms were asked to design
a kitchen featuring the trio of suppliers' products. HVL
Interiors' contribution, titled "Tribal Instincts," which touched
