Fashion Forward/ Design Innovator!

Lori Weitzer Design!

Lori Weitzer is a true artist- in every sense of the definition. She takes simple inspirations and turns them into masterpieces.

So who is Lori Weitzner?

Lori Weitzner, principal and creative director of her own New York-based firm, has achieved international renown with designs that cross a multitude of disciplines. A sophisticated color palette, intricate dimensional textures and a lyrical, painterly approach to pattern characterize Weitzner’s distinctively stylish creations. Whether in the filed of textiles, wall coverings, passementerie, dinnerware, packaging, rugs, bedding, fashion accessories, paper goods or healthcare products, her aim is to create high quality design that appeals to a broad range of markets.

In 2004 she launched Weiztner Limited, offering innovative furnishings for the wall to designers worldwide. An award winning line that combines extraordinary design with uncommon materials to create innovative new products—including a number of which that are environmentally conscious.

Where the masterpieces are created!

“Our "white box sanctuary" in downtown Manhattan gives us the light and breathing space in which to create alchemy. Here is where our energy is on full display; where we transform inspiration into the materials that challenge our clients’ perceptions of what a wallcovering, textile, trim, or rug can be. We are all artists, albeit old fashioned in our approach--everything must originate from the hand.” States Lori Weitzer Design.

She is an Innovator!

“We like to challenge our clients’ perception of what a wallcovering can be by creating innovative materials that evoke curiosity, calm and beauty. Then we add environmental consciousness and performance (class A ratings) into the mix.” – states Lori Weitzner.

"Home is Where..."??

Well, if I answered this question last week, I would've said "Home is Where...The SNOW DAYS Are!! "

I don't care how old you are, you are never too old to get out and enjoy the beauty and rareity of a North Carolina snowfall-And the occassional snowball fight!
However, if you chose to stay indoors during the bought of cold, snowy weather...how was it?
If "Home is where the Heart should be", then why do too many of us answer "Home is Where...The White Walls Are"!
As a designer, I can't think of anything worse than a home that doesn't cultivate quiet moments, offer inspiration, and reflect the inhabitants' personality with it's colors and decor.
With our economy making us all cringe and the cold weather settling in, we find ourselves spending more and more time at home. So, let's make it exciting!?
Here are some ideas for overhauling that tired, blank canvas of a house from the

Techno Color...it's not just for people with mohawks anymore! This cheery pallette will make you forget the cold weather outside!
Local Momentum...A natural pallette of color that will please any earth-loving individual (or anyone who recycles...anything!)
Conscious Luxury...These colors, with warm mineral tones, have an exotic vibe that may just be the budget friendly resort vacation you need!

Global Tapestry...Travel the world; Don't leave the sofa!

And, the next time someone asks you "Home is Where..."? ?
Here's to being able to say,

"Home is Where... The FUN Is!!
ENJOY!
