This week Grace and I started our 2 month long internship with Chango & Co., an up and coming interior design firm based out of Brooklyn New York. The team that we joined consists of Susana Simonpietri, the creator and head designer of the company, Josh Kay, the managing director and our internship supervisor, Amy Kay, who is Josh's sister, and a recently hired intern named Charlotte. The company "headquarters" is located in the Williamsburg area of Brooklyn, where Grace and I take the subway every morning. This week we were introduced to all of the current projects and helped look for various furniture and accessory pieces for different clients. We also filled out multiple Purchase Order forms for furniture pieces, light fixtures, fabrics, and paints for the client's records.
The most interesting and most fun thing we got to do was go to the D&D Building which is located in the Upper East Side of Manhattan. The building houses showrooms for a multitude of designers of fabrics, wallpapers, furniture, artwork, lighting, and other materials related to interior design and decoration. Charlotte, Grace and I perused through the Romo, Schumacher, Lee Jofa, Kravet, and Stark and picked out fabrics and got samples of each one that we liked to be taken back and organized into the Chango & Co. fabric store room. I took pictures of some of my favorite samples that we picked out.
After we had all of the samples that we picked out, we went back to the "office" and reorganized all of the fabrics. We decided to sort them by color so that it would be easy to pull a specific fabric if a client had a certain color or shade in mind. This was a 2-day long process because there were so many fabrics, however, the result looks great and very organized!
