CASE STUDY:
The Center College of Design's Sustainable Mobility Summit

Pasadena's Art Center College of Design has a reputation for cutting edge design and when the members of their event department requested furniture for an international summit on Sustainable Mobility, we were very interested.

After the conference, I asked Gwen Hourihan from the event department about the Summit:

1. Why did you choose a "green theme"? As part of Art Center’s mission to apply education and design as tools for solving contemporary issues—and building on our deep ties to the automotive industry—in 2007 Art Center launched a series of Summits (http://www.artcenter.edu/summit) aimed at developing innovative solutions for sustainable mobility.

2. What elements of sustainable design and decor did you find most important to include? Showcasing student work and students’ efforts to design in a sustainable manner were most important. Not only does it underscore the College’s educational mission, but also it serves as an example to influential Summit attendees and speakers that the next generation is serious about creating sustainable solutions. Among our student displays were premium tote bags designed using “post combat” military truck tarps, and bamboo Laptop Sticks designed to improve airflow to cool notebook computers and help improve posture.

3. How did you find your sustainable resources? Art Center has an extremely knowledgeable faculty and student body eager to promote sustainable resources, which were often researched by a core team of Summit organizers.

4. What were your guests’ reactions to your theme? The success of the series of Art Center Summits has been overwhelming—we’ve seen brilliant minds come together to plan the future of cities, automobiles and energy—and our guests are very much a part of that dialogue.

5. What were the guests’ reactions to Girari’s furniture? Favorable. We heard many favorable comments about having tables for attendees to write on during the programs, and about the style and sustainability of the materials.

6. What will you do for your next green themed event? After three successful Summits, College leadership, staff, faculty and students are already considering what the next green themed event will be. No matter the theme of future events, sustainability will be an underlying focus.

The 2009 Table Top Decorating Shootout Planned for September

We are pleased to inform you that the 2009 Table Top Decorating Shootout will be coming in September. For those who are not familiar with our Industry event for event producers, designers, enthusiasts and interior designers, Girari hosts an annual competition to see which teams can create the most impressive, beautiful and high impact decorated tables.

Each of the 12 glass and acrylic tables is a different shape, size and height, making the judging (done by the winners of last year's competition) even more difficult. Any team can enter; in the certain event that more than a dozen teams enter, we draw from the pool of entrants, and those teams not chosen receive a entrance preference for the following year's competition.
