Sneak Preview: Interior Design Magazine

The May issue gives a sneak preview of the collection designed for Tuohy to be featured at NeoCon.  Below is an excerpt from the article and a link.

Tuohy’s new Kaesi Collection, designed by Clockwork, includes lounge seating, side tables, a series of low tables with storage, end tables, and credenzas. The lounge chair is intended to be used in both hospitality and corporate settings, for both waiting rooms, and increasingly, in private offices to replace more formal pull-up seating configurations.

Herman Residence in KC Home Design

below in an excerpt from the article...

personal touch

There certainly wasn't a detail overlooked in the Herman household.  From the entryway to the butler's pantry, each space requires a look around, up and down to absorb every embellishment.  But the goal wasn't to show off details, it was to create flow.  The cohesion started with the homeowners and architects' mutual admiration.  "I can't think of a time that they, my wife and me weren't all on the same page."  Jeff Herman says of the team at Clockwork Architecture + Design.

March 22 is World Water Day

Water for Life

Water is a necessity. Water is essential to all living things…yet, one in eight people in the world don’t have access to safe water, millions of women and children must still spend several hours a day, collecting water from distant, often polluted sources, and 2.5 billion people live without a toilet.

The United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) has marked March 22 as World Water Day, annually observed as a means of focusing attention on the importance of freshwater and advocating for the sustainable management of freshwater resources. Each year, a theme is determined. 2009 marks "Shared Water - Shared Opportunities ", focusing on trans-boundary water and the idea that managing water across borders could promote trust and understanding, leading to a more peaceful and secure world, enabling sustainable economic growth.

As part of this international effort, right here in Kansas City, Water Partners International puts forth energy daily to raise grant funds and implement programs that assist with bringing clean, drinkable water and proper sanitation to over 8 developing countries. Water Partners strive to unite and collaborate with entities in these countries, that understand and are part of each local culture- honoring their knowledge of the land and people- to create projects that serve to benefit these communities and integrate technology, health and hygiene education, and instill a sense of duty and pride in the people of each community.
