The Death of Interior Decorators

Killing The Interior Decorator. A Radical New Approach to Customer Service.


Don't get all excited. It's not as if this area is off limits to anyone. It's just that you have wandered beyond the well-appointed showroom aesthetic of our typical "front-end." Which simply means, that this area is going to seem a little skewed or maybe even downright unprofessional in terms of using marketing jargon and pretty, architectonic symbolism to wrap our work in a nice, friendly package.


Because most design websites are approximately 80% crap due to the exagerated claims and phoney photoshop retouches, we here at patryan:things feel the burning need to express ourselves truthfully beyond what we project to the typical shopper or curious competitor. In fact, we are not selling anything on this site. It is a collection of our ideas, thoughts, blogs, and spew that we feel is appropriate to publish just because we can. We are not interested in what you think. *Tell Us What You Think! This site is about what we think. A big, fat opinionated diatribe of Very Important Concepts (VIC) for your perusal.


Pain and Grow. Changing and Forgetting.


This site is always changing. Nothing will be "consistent" here. We belive design, art, culture, politics, relationships, and consumer demand should always be evolving and interacting with the environments that surround them. We (I use the word "We" here to indicate the huge corporate body that encompasses patryan:things - from the disinterested and self-absorbed receptionist that partially greets you in the foyer of our sprawling research campus to the middle-management project directors who wallow in a morass of finger-pointing blame; to the clock-watching fabricators hell-bent on perfect time clock synchronicity all the way up to the disconnected directors and partners who live in a world of Creative Management Ideology that still is hoplesly clinging to the last vestiges of dot com superficiality and palm pilot perversity. That doesn't include me though...) know of website - maybe even yours - that were uploaded in 1994 and have never been changed since! Hell, I even worked for a company that did that.
