2010 Envision Design Competition
Linda H. Bassert of Masterworks has been recognized again for
outstanding design, winning second place in the 2010 Envision Design
Competition, sponsored by Window Fashion Vision Magazine. Masterworks
was honored in the award category of Whole-Room Integration, the only
interior design category given. This was Masterworks’ second entry in
this competition and second Envision Award win, having also entered and
won in 2008. Masterworks’
award-winning entry was a dining room inspired by a treasured remnant of
vintage silk in the vibrant colors of turquoise, green, and purple,
which had belonged to the client’s mother. The client desired a warm and
gracious area for entertaining, a room where guests would want to linger
around the dining table. The room needed to be elegant enough for
special occasions, and relaxed enough for spontaneous gatherings. The
room included additional works of art purchased to complement the framed
silk, and a combination of existing and new furnishings. The original
window treatment design was inspired by a dress in Threads magazine. The
dramatic transformation of this room, from start to finish, may be seen
in the photo gallery below, and also on the
Custom Window Treatment Portfolio Page.
