Kelly Laplante has become one of my favorite designers. I love how she can make a room completely eco-friendly and beautiful at the same time. She is amazingly resourceful and creative. In fact, for a drafting assignment I am currently working on, I am writing about her.
I found out about her from my husband. He was doing some searching online a few months back and stumbled across a video for the Lexus Hybrid Living Suite at Fairmount Hotel in San Francisco. He sent me the video which then lead me to click around her website. I highly recommend you check her out and see what she’s up to.
Organic Design - Kelly LaPlante
Last Thursday, I had the opportunity to attend a few seminars at the Pacific Design Center for Fall Market 2009. One of the ones I went called “The Preservation for Passion: Finding Inspiration in Design with Lori Weitzner”. Lori is absolutely adorable and the presentation was great! http://www.loriweitzner.com/ I was waiting for a friend and saw a glimpse of a familiar looking face. While I had my doubts I was 98% sure I saw Kelly LaPlante walking around the showroom. I finally had enough courage to go up and ask her name and it was her.
She was very kind and friendly and I couldn’t believe that I was actually meeting the girl of whom I had been admiring her work for so long and currently writing about. Of course, I wasn’t able to tell her all of this because I was so surprised that the whole thing even happened. Regardless, she was an absolute delight and I’m excited to have met her.
