The secret to a successful product collaboration
Communication. Understanding the brand and the message you want the general public to hear is the best place to start. Creating a synergy between the designer and the vendor is circumspect to a winning combination, though easier said than done in many cases.
Story behind the Penthouse collection with Robert Allen
With our previous two collections, we have been telling the story of a group of misfits living communally in a fabulous vintage building amongst the palm trees in greater Los Angeles. This collection was a natural continuation of the plotline that focuses on their lives within the confines of the penthouse. Think Melrose Place with 
a more bohemian chic feel and certainly more drama.
Creative product of choice
Lori Weitzner has developed a transparent polyester and filament ultra-sheer that is hand-stitched to form drapery panels. In the field of fabric design, that is truly some innovative thinking.
Engaging hotel experience
Hôtel des Bains in Paris. A totally unique, yet holistic vision for one entire venue. It’s a breathtaking hotel, restaurant, nightclub, experience.
Favorite recent KNA Design project
The Solaire Resort and Casino in Manila in the Philippines—a terrific client and a compelling result. Who could ask for more?
Inspiring personal collection
I have well over 6,000 volumes of books here in our offices at KNA Design. It’s an addiction for which there is no fear of an overdose. (Thank you, Karl Lagerfeld, for 
the quote.)
