Martti Rytk\u00c3\u00b6nen To Present \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcA Narrative in Glass\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 on May 4, 2014<\/p>\n
When he came to Orrefors on a scholarship in 1994, Finland-born Martti Rytk\u00c3\u00b6nen began creating a body of work that projected a hip, modern sensibility while evoking the narrative work of Edwar Hald and other masters who shaped the Orrefors style of the early 20th century. He is a storyteller who also loves pure form and color. His works are executed in classic Orrefors techniques, even as he, like all Orrefors artists, constantly experiments with design and process.<\/p>\n
Sophisticated and high-concept, yet as charming as folk art, Rytk\u00c3\u00b6nen\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s works incorporate stylized images from nature, history, myth, urban life, graffiti, TV, movies, comics, the art of children-and his own playful imagination. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153When it comes to glass, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m a babbler,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Rytkonen says. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I have so many ideas and so many stories to tell that I find it hard to keep up. But working with glass was the best decision I ever made.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Some of his more well-known works include the heady crystal collection “Triangle and Drop” and also “Papillon” that floats on the table like a butterfly with outspread wings.<\/p>\n
Lena Walther, president of Scandanavian Collection, LLC. said, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Martti Rytk\u00c3\u00b6nen is a breath of fresh air in the unique way he designs his glass pieces. His love for story telling is clearly transformed into his work. I am delighted to have the privilege to display and sell his pieces in my Scandanavian Collection Showroom here at World Market Center and we are honored to have him joining us to speak about his work at our First Friday event on May the 4th.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
Lloyd Princeton To Coach First Friday Attendees on Business Skills June 1, 2014<\/p>\n
Lloyd Princeton owns the New York and California-based Design Management Company and works closely with interior designers and architects. He guides business owners to greater profitability and satisfaction through marketing, pricing, and staffing solutions.
\nWhile design professionals know how to design, they do not always understand what or how to charge for their services, Princeton said. Add to this the issues of dealing with long-term clients verses new prospects, and the situation is perfect for losing money.
\nAttendees can earn .02 Continuing Education Units (CEU\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s) for Princeton\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s presentation, which he said is ideal for designers, retail store owners who offer design services and other trade professionals.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153A large percentage of designers are less comfortable with this aspect of their business than the actual design process,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Princeton said, adding that as competition increases for designers, demonstrating value through the business side of the design process becomes more important than ever before. Attendees will learn how to determine the best way to charge for their creativity and incorporate it into a solid letter of agreement, with confidence. Princeton will also cover the interview process and how to screen clients, determining whether or not to meet with them or just say \u00e2\u20ac\u0153no\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.<\/p>\n
