Designs: Episode 3
Jonathan Adler prefaced this week's judging by saying "You all made some very bad choices." What do you think? Add your thoughts here.
| Winners- Tahiti Cabana Andrea, Felicia, and Michael |
| Margaret liked the curtains and flow of the fabric, which earned Michael points because he chose the fabric for this design. Kelly expressed her concern that the cabana doesn't have a roof, which caused Andrea to defend the design by saying that the cabana was supposed to look like a fantasy. That didn't fly with Kelly: she wanted her roof. Margaret jumped on the bandwagon by saying that the cabana wasn't exotic enough to look like it belonged in Tahiti. Jonathan commented that the team pulled the cabana off with pinache. Kelly agreed that the design was clean, restrained, and used the negative space nicely. |
| Losers- Miami Cabana Voted Off: Elizabeth Other members: Erik and Matt |
| Jonathan Adler thought that the use of indoor/outdoor space was good, but hated the colors. Matt was questioned about where his presence was in the design because it looked like he took a back seat on this one. Kelly said that though she liked that the cabana had refuge from the sun, the colors looked more like Las Vegas than Miami. The guest judge, Kathryn Ireland said that the indoor space was too cramped. All of the judges thought the colors were awful, and Kelly said that it looked like they bought the paint on sale. The choice of colors ultimately ended in Elizabeth's dismissal. |
| St. Tropez Cabana Carisa, Goil, Ryan |
| Jonathan Adler thought that the structure was creative and gave kudos to Goil. However, he felt that the fabric and furniture was an afterthought. Margaret thought that the neutral colors made a very heavy design statement. Carisa defended the group by saying that they were inspired by the colors on the St. Tropez postcard they were given at the beginning of the challenge, but Kelly rebuked Carisa's comment by stating that the team took the postcard too literally. Guest judge Kathryn Ireland said that the design was boring, but the structure was great. Kelly commented that the architecture and furniture had no dialog with each other. |

Personally, I thought the Miami Cabana design hit the mark. The roof provided a refuge from the sun, which can be over bearing on the beach. The interior space was cool and therefore calming. All the talk about Las Vegas "colors" was overblown considering the excellent use of indoor and outdoor space. Having just begun to watch this program, I got the impression that the judges came into this particular contest biased against one or more of the designers. I've been in design since graduating from Graphic Design in college over 44 years ago. As a consultant on numerous corporate projects, the judges comments reminded me of political in-fighting and jealousies than pure design critique. Was there some previous show or off-screen incident that can explain their decision to isolate - and then fire a team member - for the constrianed use of green and yellow on an otherwise excelllent floor plan which met the stated design criteria? Particularly when the winner of this contest was a design without a roof which negates the purpose of a cabana, and had no particular design flair.
