Small Space, Tight Timeline, BIG Impact!

The Hudson Victoria BC Interior Design Meade Design Group is proud to introduce one of our recent interior design projects at The Hudson Building in Victoria BC.

An international tech company was in need of a suite where their executives could stay in the city without the need to book a hotel. The requirement was to design a home away from home on a short time line.

The executives for this company are mostly men and the inspiration was a masculine lodge blended with mid century modern influences.

Rust oranges, warm wood tones and geometrics add personality to this small space. For accessories we went for a mix of tribal and industrial elements.

Please visit the blog to see more photos and information. This project is also featured within the /showcase/”>’Showcase’ section of our Interior Design Gallery.

Introducing… Barbara Gergel

Barbar Gergel WebsiteBarbara Gergel is a very talented and recognized local stylist. From residential to landscape design, Barbara’s ability to mix styles, deep knowledge of the design elements and a clear understanding of her clients needs are evident in each of her projects. Barbara’s designs have always been characterized by the elegance of their lines and a sense of uniqueness. Her work is often transitional with a perfect blend of classic and contemporary elements.

We created a design which we feel exudes class, flair and elegance with the use of a swooping peacock feather, clean typography, metallic inks and a chartruse colour palette which has been used on business cards and a one-page website.

Barbara Barry ‘Indochine’ Launch & Tea

Barbara Barry Indochine EventMeade Design Group was a little spoiled this fall, we were able to host the launch of Barbara Barry’s latest fabric collection, ‘Indochine’ with a private gathering of clients. We were actually the first showing in Canada so we feel very special to have been given the opportunity!

Of course, we have to thank Barbara Barry for creating the line, but many thanks also need to go out to all of our guests in attendance, Rook & Rose for the flowers and a great big thanks for the support from the team at Kravet Canada: Brian Donovan and Paul Smith, and of course our rep, Brenda Marks – we couldn’t have done it without her fabulous presentation!

There was an abundance of treats and drinks to be had, including our signature cocktail for the event ‘Indochampagne’. All in all, we’d say it was a great success! For more photos and information on the event, including our decor and signature cocktail recipe, check out our latest blog entry.

Introducing… Meg De Candia

Meg Decandia Purse DesignThis is quite possibly our most fashion forward logo yet.

We were thrilled when international handbag designer Meg De Candia asked Meade Design Group to help her re-brand herself with a new logo, business cards, and an invitation/brochure design.

We wanted to create a look that would hold it’s own against heavy-weight brands such as Calvin Klein, Michael Kors, Balenciaga and Kate Spade. Not to toot our own horn, but we think we did with this clean but edgy logo with stong diagonal lines, juxtaposed directions and stacked typography. The logo also lent itself to a stunning use of repetition with her images and a beautiful custom pattern that was used inside the business cards and layered onto the image at the back of the brochure with a detail shot of the gorgeous hides she uses in her designs.
