Architect and designer, Beatrice Girelli, came to the realization that it was easier to design the perfect chair, rug or lamp rather than settle for something already available, but just not 100% right. After designing a series of custom rugs for a project, she thought this would be the perfect product to start her new venture, and the IndiB rug collection was born.
WHO ARE YOU? Beatrice Girelli: architect and product designer
1. PICK A NUMBER 1 THROUGH 10. GO. 7
2. WHAT'S THE ODDEST THING IN YOUR REFRIGERATOR? Walla-wall Sweet Onion Mustard and Bull-dog, a Japanese vegetable seasoning paste which I never bought and I have no idea how it landed in my refrigerator.
3. WHAT'S A PRODUCT YOU WISH YOU'D THOUGHT UP? Post-it and the first contemporary chaise lounge.
4. USE THE WORD "BAFFLEGAB" IN A SENTENCE. It is time to end the inconclusive bafflegab of our government about sustainability and environmental programs and demand effective policies.
We need to develop a collective conscience and force our representatives to finally represent our best interest.
5. WHAT'S SOMETHING YOU AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE? Decorating TV shows. They are bad and they try too hard.
6. HAVE YOU EVER FELT COMPELLED TO BUY A BILLY MAYS PRODUCT? (YOU KNOW, OXICLEAN, HERCULES HOOKS...) No, but I have to admit that Oxiclean works.
7. I'M SO SICK OF HEARING ABOUT Celebrities designing products or fashion lines and trying desperately to convince us that it was all their doing!
8. WHAT'S THE FUNNIEST NICKNAME YOU'VE GIVEN OR BEEN GIVEN? Our mailman has been calling me Bernice by mistake for the last 4 years…..bear in mind that he delivers my mail and that my real name is on every envelope!
9. IF YOU DIDN'T DO WHAT YOU DO, WHAT WOULD YOU DO? Have occasionally some free time!
10. WE'RE FISHIN' FOR SOME NEW MUSIC, SO WHAT BAND(S) DO YOU LOVE RIGHT NOW?
My favorite for the last 6 years:
Zero 7
