I have just completed a work experience at Clement Joscelyne, Norwich. They are a group of five shops in East Anglia who sell home furnishings from accessories to furniture, as well as providing an interior design service. This is the team I worked with, in the shop they show customers fabrics and wall papers, putting together mood boards if required. I spent a lot of time looking through their vast collection of fabrics they sell; all very high end, luxurious fabrics. I found the ones I was most interested in were the more neutral fabrics with texture and unusual yarns, such as Ulf Moritz, Sahco and, Zimmer and Rohde, these also were mostly sheer fabrics. This is something I want to think about doing in my final year of uni, concentrating on my materials experimentation. I helped choose the furniture to be displayed in store, as the room setting are all going to be changed. On my final day I put together a mood board:
This mood board is a plan/design for a contemporary living space, it includes everything from the wall paper, accessories, architecture, furniture, fabrics etc. I learnt a lot about how to put together an interior design mood board, how to do a floor plan, the things I need to include such as drawing, and how to mound fabrics. These are produced at Clement Joscelyne so that customers can see what their space will look like, a mood board really helps to sell them the design as it can be hard to visualise what it will look like.
