As consumers hunkered down\u2014working from home, schooling at home and finding renewed comfort at home in general\u2014many design brands and interior designers have found themselves busier than ever. We\u2019ve been hearing all about the supply chain issues and backorders on everything from furniture to kitchen appliances, as demand has soared with stuck-at-home homeowners realizing just how much their spaces could benefit from some overdue upgrades and added comfort.<\/p><p>And while many design professionals may be seeing their businesses booming, their spirit of giving back is equally alive and well. From scholarship funds and mentoring programs, to events that focus on food insecurity and homelessness, the design industry has continued to flex its muscles when it comes to philanthropy.<\/p><p>One such event that is making a difference is \u2018Rooms With a View\u2019 (RWAV), one of the East Coast\u2019s longest-standing charity events. Now in its 26<sup>th<\/sup> year, the event returns to the Southport Congregational Church in Southport, Connecticut November 4-7. The organizers had considered going virtual this year, but as the world started to reopen, it became clear that the community and design industry were as eager as ever to bring it back in full force.<\/p><p>As part of the event, 12 designers have been enlisted to create a totally immersive series of vignettes. We\u2019ve seen the talent designers can bring to a showhouse, but this concept pushes the envelope even more-so given the time and space constraints. With the help of sponsors like Waterworks, Stark and Circa Lighting, design teams have less than a week to transform their blank canvases into showhouse-like vignettes, each one measuring six-by-eight with three sheetrock walls, a ceiling, and electricity.<\/p><p>One would never know these are temporary spaces given the detailed art and craftsmanship that goes into them. Past participants have plastered, wallpapered, stuccoed, mirrored, lacquered and paneled their three walls\u00a0<em>plus\u00a0<\/em>laid parquet, sisal, antique tile, marble, limestone, and carpet,\u00a0<em>then\u00a0<\/em>built bookcases, windows and sometimes fireplaces\u00a0<em>before\u00a0<\/em>installing furnishings, drapery, antiques, objects, and art.\u00a0The result is a masterful pop-up that beckons guests to engage with the creators, discover new resources, and be inspired by an overwhelming show of creativity.<\/p><p>In total, 600+ rooms have been fabricated since \u2018Rooms With a View\u2019 launched back in 1993. There has been an artist\u2019s garret, a gentleman\u2019s office at the beach, a Park Avenue houseboat (in a nod to global warming),\u00a0a study featuring Mary Tyler Moore\u2019s tarot collection, and even a meditation room that subtly changed colors when sensing movement.<\/p><p>Albert Hadley, the preeminent American designer who counted the likes of Brooke Astor and Jacqueline Kennedy as clients, played a prominent role in getting RWAV off the ground. He continued to be one of its best advocates up until his death in 2012, serving as the event\u2019s hands-on design director and honorary chairman. Hadley also developed a formula for inviting the participating designers which carries over still to this day: six men, six women; six New York-based, six Fairfield County-based; six established, six new. 2021 designers include:<\/p><p><strong>Alexis Blake (Eleish van Breems Studio) \u2022 Christopher Maya \u2022 Edwina Hunt and Pimi Pampill \u2022 Eneia White \u2022 Fiona Leonard Interiors \u2022 Fisher Interiors \u2022 Laura Casale Architect \u2022 Nicky James \u2022 Olivia Charney \u2022 Interior Design \u2022 Ruger Interiors \u2022\u00a0 Sean Desmond \u2022\u00a0 William Lyon Designs<\/strong><\/p><p>Since its inception, \u2018Rooms with a View\u2019 has raised over $1.775 million dollars for 18 charities throughout Connecticut, supporting multiple causes. A few years ago, the event also launched a scholarship fund with the New York School of Interior Design (NYSID).<\/p><p>As part of the program, one upper-level NYSID student is invited to join the RWAV designer roster the following year. The scholarship\u2019s most recent beneficiary, Sean Desmond, was selected in 2019 before the pandemic-induced hiatus, and now finally has the chance to put his work on display.<\/p><p>\u201cThe college is incredibly grateful that our RWAV friends established the scholarship. In addition to the financial support provided, what makes it even more meaningful to the student is the opportunity to design and install a vignette, giving them a taste of what their life as a designer will be like.\u00a0 It is invaluable to someone about to graduate and embark on their new career\u201d, says NYSID President David Sprouls.<\/p><p>Tickets start at $25; event details can be found at <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.roomswithaview.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.roomswithaview.org<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p><h3><strong>A Sense of Home<\/strong><\/h3><p>And over on the West Coast, designers are at it too, putting their skills to work for those in need. One organization that is leveraging such designer talent is Los Angeles-based \u2018A Sense of Home\u2019 (ASOH), a group that helps prevent homelessness by creating first-ever homes for youth aging out of the foster care system.<\/p><p>Started in 2015, ASOH has now created more than 630 homes with donated furniture and home goods, helping 1,500+ former foster youth and their children. When you learn that 50% of those struggling with homelessness are former foster children, you further grasp the organization\u2019s critical mission to keep these kids off the street.<\/p><p>A-list interior designer Kelly Wearstler is the first in the charity\u2019s new Design Challenge Program, where once a month, designers decorate a home with their own items and other \u201cgently used\u201d donated furnishings. Furniture and appliance brands are called upon to make sure their excess is given a second life rather than going to landfills. Brand partners like Casper, Lamps Plus and Parachute have stepped up and generously answered this call, helping to turn empty interiors into homes.<\/p><p>\u201cI\u2019ve always been an ardent supporter of the organization. We most recently helped create a home for a\u00a0young mother, and I was moved knowing that she will be able to provide a safe, permanent place for\u00a0her daughter, where they will be able to create memories and experience life together.\u00a0I love to include my own family, studio and vendors in the experience too, and I\u00a0hope to inspire others to take part\u201d, says Wearstler.<\/p><p>Looking for ways you can give back and round out your charitable contributions as we enter the final months of 2021?
