She was first educated at home, eventually persuading her father to let her attend the University of California for a trial year. Her grades were so strong that he allowed her to continue. She earned degrees from UC Berkeley and later Brown University, becoming the first woman to receive a PhD in industrial psychology.

Alongside her husband Frank, she helped establish the field of industrial engineering. Gilbreth studied how people lifted, reached, stretched, and tired, and how work could either support the human body or quietly wear it down. The Gilbreths developed the concept of “therbligs,” a near reversal of their last name. Therbligs catalogued the smallest units of movement in any task — search, reach, grasp, transport — allowing them to break down labour with new precision, a concept still used today.

She continued the work on her own, writing, teaching, advising industry, and becoming the first female professor at Purdue University. She later taught at several universities including the Newark College of Engineering, the University of Wisconsin, and the University of the Philippines. She also consulted for Macy’s, Sears, and restaurants like the Green Line chain, applying motion study to everything from sandwich preparation to clerical work.

Gilbreth Jr. and Ernestine Gilbreth Carey. The book didn’t just become a bestseller; it became a film classic too. The original 1950 movie (and its 1952 sequel Belles on Their Toes) portrayed the Gilbreths’ real family life, with Myrna Loy playing Lillian. Later remakes in 2003, 2005, and a 2022 reboot borrowed only the title, turning the story into broad family comedy, but the enduring association kept the Gilbreth name alive in popular culture.

Domestic labour deserved the same intelligence and ergonomic care as any industrial task. The kitchen, especially, needed to function as a workspace designed around the person who used it. Below are three projects she pioneered — and one she designed — that helped shape the modern home as we know it. Below are four projects she pioneered that helped shape the modern home as we know it.

Most ergonomics and safety research at the time centred on men’s bodies; this study helped shift the kitchen toward a space that all genders could use comfortably and without strain. Her intention was clear: domestic labour was real labour, with real physical consequences, and the kitchen should support the person working inside it rather than exhaust them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef79f4952236c536ad9c48a/51fb77f9-d109-4b4a-90e7-c2a9c1a5b5b6/Screenshot+2025-11-28+at+6.06.13%E2%80%AFPM.png Journal - About Her: Doctor Lillian Gilbreth, Inventor of the Kitchen She interviewed more than 4,000 women about how they stood, bent, reached, and moved around their kitchens. Through the new technology of film in a series motion studies, she recorded how many times they leaned forward at the stove, how the height of a counter changed their posture, and when a sink demanded awkward angles or unnecessary stretching. She studied where pots were stored, how far one had to travel with a pan of boiling water, and the cumulative fatigue created by poor placement alone. Her process involved observing not just motion but discomfort. She applied her earlier research on industrial fatigue and motion study to understand when a kitchen layout made a task harder than it needed to be. The aim was not speed for its own sake but to create a kitchen “that fit the woman.” Image Source: Purdue University College of Engineering https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef79f4952236c536ad9c48a/04c35775-5f6c-4552-bfef-edac62023c99/Gilbreth-MotionStudies2.jpeg Journal - About Her: Doctor Lillian Gilbreth, Inventor of the Kitchen The results of the GE study helped establish proper heights for stoves, sinks, and counters — ergonomic baselines manufacturers still reference today. She later expanded this work by consulting on the design of washing machines and refrigerators, influencing both appliance ergonomics and kitchen workflow.

Most kitchens of the early 20th century were scattered: large rooms lined with mismatched storage and appliances wherever they could fit. Through intensive study, Gilbreth saw the waste in every unnecessary step. The Kitchen Practical replaced that scatter with a compact, task-based system centred on flow.

This research informed the modern day kitchen and is seen in homes around the world. Gilbreth’s concept included: the stove and counter placed side by side ingredients stored above, pans below consideration for human ergonomics through studies of human dimensions (a questionnaire from the projects is shown in this image) the refrigerator one step away a rolling cart to extend the workspace - the beginnings of the kitchen island as we know it Continuous workspaces and built in cabinetry- kitchens as we know them did not really exist prior to this research Image Source: The Gilbreth Network https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef79f4952236c536ad9c48a/393bcd55-222a-4235-a342-68e10252f0b9/kit2.jpg Journal - About Her: Doctor Lillian Gilbreth, Inventor of the Kitchen In a demonstration, a strawberry shortcake (the only thing Gilbreth could successfully cook) required 281 steps in a typical kitchen and just 45 in Gilbreth’s. This is important historically because it showed real practical steps in liberating women from their domestic tasks - by making them easier to carry out, as well as ergonomically more comfortable, they would have time for more leisurely or professional pursuits. Gilbreth’s interior design work truly paved the way for women to have more choice in their lives. This kitchen workstation features a pullout desk, wheels for aid in cleaning below, and a pull down door for hiding spices and ingredients. Shelving for papers, a phone, and books acknowledged the labour required to run a home.

Earlier work designing tools and tasks for disabled veterans deeply informed this philosophy. She believed a kitchen should not exhaust, exclude, or diminish the person working in it.

The desk formalised the idea that domestic life involved real organisational labour. Its drawers for bills paid and due, cookbook shelf, telephone nook, built-in toolbox, and integrated radio created a unified command centre decades before the modern home office.

Motion studies on how to best provide work desk stations to people who were blind, missing limbs, or with other physical needs were highly progressive for the time. These findings are still seen in modern day disability legislation today. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef79f4952236c536ad9c48a/36afde6a-b62d-4e16-9c23-d6fec3ae3ce2/FBG-standing-typewriter-desk-690x1024.jpg Journal - About Her: Doctor Lillian Gilbreth, Inventor of the Kitchen Her article in Popular Science Monthly shown, details a now seemingly modern concept for a standing desk. Her work was incredibly ahead of its time and very clearly still referenced today. The Gilbreths applied motion-study principles to desk and workstation environments. They found that high contrast in the work area increased fatigue — for example, the sharp contrast between white paper and a black typewriter. They recommended that Remington paint its typewriters white to reduce visual strain, and suggested that factory machinery and surrounding walls be painted in a single light colour, like gray, rather than the easier-to-maintain black surfaces common at the time. This was one of the earliest recognitions that the psychology of colour and contrast directly affects efficiency and human comfort.

It stood there for nearly a year, attracting daily crowds. The home wasn’t a showroom so much as an educational experiment, designed to demonstrate how standardized components, efficient layouts, and scientifically planned workflows could make home improvement easier and more affordable. With an exterior designed by architects Roger Bullard and Clifford C. Wendehack, America's Little House gave New Yorkers a first-hand view of what the American dream of owning a home looked like. The home was a colonial revival, three-bedroom house with a garage, surrounded by a lawn and white picket fence. Events at the house received enormous coverage in the media, helping to push the message of home ownership, including a visit from First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt. Better Homes in America assembled a team of specialists — architects, interior designers, landscape designers, and housekeeping experts — to create a set of universal domestic plans. Their aim was democratic: to prove that good home design didn’t have to be bespoke or expensive. Standardization, in their eyes, could widen access to comfort, efficiency, and modern living. The showcase was sponsored by banks and media companies.

Her rooms illustrated how women’s daily chores — cooking, dressing, childcare — could be systematized to save time, reduce fatigue, and make domestic life more manageable. Elizabeth Parker, the project's interior designer, helped to show how Americans could best utilize the space inside their homes through colour and furnishings. Parker worked with Emily Post, who is famously known for her work in etiquette and advice columns.

Here, though, the goal wasn’t industrial output but making home improvement accessible to all. The model home challenged the idea that the best houses were highly individualized. Instead, it presented the possibility that thoughtful, well-planned standardization might offer comfort, dignity, and ease to more people. A total of 166,000 people visited the demonstration home during the twelve-month period when it was open to the public An exact replica still stands of the famed “avatar of modern suburban life” was constructed at 1125 Sasco Hill Road in Fairfield, Connneticuit, not far from the original - after the exposition, one could buy plans from Better Homes and create their own. The current value might say something about what access to an “average” American home might mean today! It can be seen here.

Abby and her partner Eli, owners of Buffalo Lodge https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef79f4952236c536ad9c48a/50fe86d0-86af-4868-90c8-b788336eefe3/BuffaloLodge%282%29-482.jpg Journal - How To Open a Boutique Hotel: Abby Doyle from Buffalo Lodge - Vision & Readiness What lead you to Buffalo Lodge? Did you have a background in hospitality or was the property the catalyst? The property was entirely the catalyst. We didn’t come from hospitality, we were simply ready for something substantial, something we could build and shape with intent. When we found the lodge, it felt like we had endless ideas of how it could continue to evolve over time. We stepped into it knowing we’d have to learn quickly, and with the hope to build the hospitality knowledge around the property rather than the other way around. Looking back, is there one thing you’d absolutely invest in or seek expert advice on earlier? I would invest earlier in a complete master plan, design, business model, landscaping, the whole picture. Budget-wise, it often makes sense to implement things gradually, but without a cohesive overview from the start, you end up making piecemeal decisions that don’t quite speak to each other. You can absolutely stage the execution, but the vision needs to be whole. Otherwise the space feels disjointed, and that lack of congruence is surprisingly expensive to undo later. What do you wish someone had told you before you took over an existing accommodation property? I think this is true for any business, but certainly was my experience. The romance is real, but so is the stewardship. If you love the rhythm of caring for something properly and investing continuous energy into it, you’ll thrive. If you’re looking for passive participation, I'd look elsewhere. Imagine equal parts creativity and practicality. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef79f4952236c536ad9c48a/756399ac-d09e-4d38-9d15-1d1ad155dac4/hotel+interior+design+new+zealand Journal - How To Open a Boutique Hotel: Abby Doyle from Buffalo Lodge - Making an Existing Lodge Your Own What were the biggest knowledge gaps in transitioning into boutique accommodation ownership, and how did early consulting help you navigate those? Mmmm, everything. We had a pretty clear vision and tons of dreams, but translating that into the day-to-day reality of occupancy rates, marketing strategy, systems and structures, was all entirely new. Not to mention we opened in the post covid era and only two weeks before cyclone Gabrielle, so we were humbled quickly by the challenges ahead. Early consulting gave us clarity around what we were actually hoping to build so the creativity had structure and we had some focus around our big dreams. What surprised you about buying an existing lodge in New Zealand - anything other new operators should know? What surprised me most was how much the personality of the property itself shapes everything, from guest flow to staff routines to what feels “right” in the design. No matter how much you plan on paper, the building, the land, even the light and the weather have a special way of guiding decisions if you allow yourself to listen. I would offer that listening to the space and adapting to it often matters more than trying to impose your ideas all at once. When you first stepped in as the new owner, what were the priorities to make it guest-ready under your vision? Oh goodness, it honestly felt like we started from zero. Very little was handed over, and we were quite different from the previous owner in most ways, so it became about shaping a vision that felt genuine to us. We also wanted to broaden who the lodge spoke to. While we’ve always loved hosting retired international travellers, we were intentional about creating an experience that resonated with a wider range of ages and encouraged more domestic guests to explore the Coromandel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef79f4952236c536ad9c48a/d9dc4a1c-3658-4b8a-8fa8-e2b1178a17ec/hotel+interior+design+new+zealand Journal - How To Open a Boutique Hotel: Abby Doyle from Buffalo Lodge - Design as Strategy At what point did it become clear that elevating the design would help reposition Buffalo Lodge in the Coromandel market? Or did you always intend to renovate a property? Buffalo Lodge feels unique as it is based on its vantage and the era and construction of the lodge. It has this funny mix I was really drawn to of feeling really approachable and not fancy, while still having the opportunity to be somewhat sophisticated. I liked the idea that people could take their shoes off and settle in like they would a family member's home, while also still buying a nice locally sourced bottle of wine or having an Allpress coffee and freshly baked croissant to start their day. Essentially the goodies of the city I missed, with the pleasure of being submersed in the nature of the Coromandel peninsula. What made Studio Sio a good fit for you? How did you find us? Studio Sio was a perfect fit because of Shanta, her detailed organisation, approachable style, and the way she really listened made the whole process feel effortless. She also really understood the goal and had such a wealth of knowledge and experience in breaking down making an idea into a reality. Her work with Hotel Chelsea was how we found her originally. How did design choices support the type of guest you wanted to attract - and the experience you wanted them to have? Our design choices were guided by how we wanted guests to feel rather than just how the space looked. We aimed for a balance of ease and intention. We wanted the details to add a calm, welcoming atmosphere with a touch of sophistication. Design felt like tone-setting to me. We wanted to attract guests who appreciate considered spaces but don’t need them to feel untouchable, people who notice good lighting, natural materials, and thoughtful details, but also feel comfortable putting their feet up. So the choices were deliberate but not precious. The goal was to create an environment that feels calm and quietly confident, so the experience is less about the space and more about ease and the natural surroundings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef79f4952236c536ad9c48a/e51b1afa-ee6a-40fa-bc05-85cc886041eb/hotel+interior+design+new+zealand Journal - How To Open a Boutique Hotel: Abby Doyle from Buffalo Lodge - Daily Experience & Operations How did you approach practical needs like durability, maintenance, and housekeeping efficiency when updating the interiors? I think this is really going to come into phase two when we tackle five bathrooms! There was of course some consideration of this, but because we are an adults only space we really prioritized interiors we love, cream linen curtains, a light coloured Hay couch, which we may have stayed away from otherwise. What have you learned about what guests really value during their stay - sometimes in ways that changed your design assumptions? We’ve learned that guests value how a place makes them feel far more than any individual design feature. Early on, we really thought about the visual details, and while they matter, what guests comment on most is comfort, warmth, good lighting, privacy, and feeling genuinely looked after. It has shifted our focus from creating something that looks “impressive” to creating something deeply comfortable, which, in the end, is far more memorable. How do you balance comfort and luxury with operational realities, especially in a boutique-sized lodge? In a boutique lodge, every choice and offering has to earn its place. We have to have an eye on what’s practical to maintain and deliver consistently. I think it’s about layering quality and detail where it counts, plush bedding, natural materials, well-designed spaces, while keeping operations manageable behind the scenes. The hope is to make everything feel effortless for guests, even if it takes a bit of strategy and sweat to make it run smoothly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef79f4952236c536ad9c48a/9b6c6bc1-00b4-402a-ac06-562893a7525e/BuffaloLodge%282%29-309.jpg Journal - How To Open a Boutique Hotel: Abby Doyle from Buffalo Lodge - Location, Authenticity & Sustainability How does the Coromandel itself influence the lodge - from design palette to guest activities? The Coromandel shapes everything at the lodge. The surrounding bush, beaches, and clay filled mountains guided our material choices and textures, while the landscape inspires the activities we highlight: walks, swims, the local pottery, and simply slowing down to take it all in. The environment is truly a part of the experience. Did sustainability or local sourcing play a role in updating materials or furnishings? Absolutely, we’ve been gradually filling the lodge with local artists’ work, and our current renovations that we are working on focus on handmade or second-hand pieces. We would like to take a slow, considered approach that keeps the space authentic while supporting local makers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef79f4952236c536ad9c48a/91f29ff3-bfb9-429c-ad45-e1c48c49b794/hotel+interior+design+new+zealand Journal - How To Open a Boutique Hotel: Abby Doyle from Buffalo Lodge - after opening How do you see Buffalo Lodge evolving - future upgrades, events, or seasonal offerings you’re excited about? There’s a lot we’re dreaming up. We’d love for Buffalo Lodge to become even more of a destination, with spa-like retreats, walks on the land, and meals that are fully catered so guests can truly just arrive and relax. We’re also excited to host more events, retreats, weddings and elopements, to create memorable experiences that bring together fun opportunities to collaborate with local vendors. What’s your vision for the lodge in the next few years as tourism in Aotearoa continues to shift? As tourism in Aotearoa evolves, we want Buffalo Lodge to offer the opposite of the chaotic, always-on world outside. Our focus is on thoughtful, immersive stays: small-scale, high-quality, and deeply connected to the Coromandel. More opportunities to connect with the land, with each other, and with the natural beauty around us. https://www.studiosio.co.nz/journal/in-practice-figurative-hardware monthly 0.5 2025-12-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef79f4952236c536ad9c48a/35528eb1-2de0-4761-bf18-dbdbed94a3e1/Screenshot+2025-05-31+at+12.47.04%E2%80%AFAM.png Journal - In Practice: Studio Sio’s Favourite Figurative Hardware - Solid Brass Duck Hook If you’re looking to dip your toe into figurative hardware - or, in this case, a duck foot - this is the one.

Surrounded by the aesthetics of wealth, grand homes, fine art, and gilded traditions Dorothy had an unshakable instinct for beauty and fine detailing from a young age. Although having a limited education, spending two years at an all girls school with the rest taught from home, her instinct helped her become successful in her own right. In 1912, she married Dr. George “Dan” Draper, and the pair began buying and renovating homes, a hobby that quickly became her calling. After redecorating several of their own properties, Draper’s style caught the attention of her social circle. Friends began asking her to design their homes, and by 1925, she formalized her practice under the name Architectural Clearing House, making her one of the first women to found and run a design firm on her own. By the late 1920s, after a series of successful apartment commissions, the firm became Dorothy Draper & Company. At a time when women in design were rarely acknowledged, let alone leading firms, Draper was a trailblazer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef79f4952236c536ad9c48a/7ec219f5-365e-4d49-9351-9fb06e110f91/image-asset.jpg Journal - About Her: Interior Designer Dorothy Draper From there, her rise was meteoric. By the 1930s, Draper was transforming New York apartments and hotels into theatrical interiors full of spirit and sophistication. She became well known for her maximalist palette of vivid color, bold stripes, and eye-catching patterns—paired with her signature black-and-white checkerboard floors, cabbage rose chintz, and plaster flourishes that planted the seed for the Hollywood Regency style. Through the 1940s and 50s, she took on monumental commissions doing work in hotels, museums and even car interiors. During the Great Depression, she wrote a syndicated advice column and launched wildly popular fabric lines, proving that style and optimism could coexist—even in lean times. In 1952, Dorothy Draper attended a dinner hosted by the American Institute of Decorators in honor of Frank Lloyd Wright. True to form, Wright’s ego stole the spotlight during his speech. “I don’t call them interior decorators,” he quipped, somewhat surprisingly at a dinner hosted by the very people he was criticizing. “I call them inferior desecrators.” Then, with no attempt at subtlety, he singled out Draper: “And the greatest inferior desecrator of all is Dorothy Draper. She doesn’t know anything. All she knows is God made some flowers.” This comment also detracts from the fact Draper was not just a decorator (not to mention that decorators have their own respectful place and value in the design world); she was an interior designer and interior architect who had managed to beat a lot of odds as a woman in business to be where she was. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef79f4952236c536ad9c48a/e4a21d23-6d60-4cd7-bb5e-ed6453d691df/service-pnp-cph-3c30000-3c37000-3c37900-3c37927r.jpg Journal - About Her: Interior Designer Dorothy Draper The room erupted in boos. All eyes turned to Draper, anticipating a cutting comeback. But instead, she offered something far more enigmatic. According to her protégé Carleton Varney, she simply called out, “Yoo hoo, Mr. Wright. Here I am,” before graciously thanking him for the mention. She added that she admired his work and was pleased he was familiar with hers. Draper retired in 1960 and passed away in 1969, but her influence never left. Today, her legacy lives on through designers who continue to draw on her rule-breaking, joy-filled approach to interiors, and the idea that high end design does not need to mean boring. Her firm Draper & Co is still in operation today; run by the sons of her protege Carleton Varney, who first joined her in the 1950’s. Below, we revisit three of our favourite projects that embody Draper’s fearless creativity, lasting influence, and signature flair. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef79f4952236c536ad9c48a/3ea2ee6a-a0d3-4bca-9bf5-fc6d18ae7109/State-Suite-Rendering-scaled+%281%29.jpg Journal - About Her: Interior Designer Dorothy Draper After serving as a military hospital during WWII, The Greenbrier needed a serious revival. Dorothy Draper was commissioned to redesign the sprawling resort, and it became one of the most iconic examples of postwar American interior design. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef79f4952236c536ad9c48a/024ee8d7-8429-4223-add5-560b9fc9be23/rhodo_featured.jpeg Journal - About Her: Interior Designer Dorothy Draper Drawing from a palette of mint green, coral, yellow, and black-and-white, Draper created a maximalist playground that was both luxurious and inviting. The checkerboard floors, towering floral arrangements, and neoclassical motifs injected drama into every corridor. Draper believed rooms should lift people’s spirits—and The Greenbrier became a living expression of that philosophy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef79f4952236c536ad9c48a/6f2f26d8-4dbe-451e-a7d8-afa860503776/Screenshot+2025-05-29+at+3.04.27%E2%80%AFPM.jpg Journal - About Her: Interior Designer Dorothy Draper Much of her original work remains intact today, lovingly maintained by her firm (Dorothy Draper & Co.), which still consults on the property. Recent updates to the hotel have thoughtfully preserved Draper’s legacy, honouring her original vision while keeping the spirit of her design very much alive. A visit here is a step into a meticulously preserved design fantasy, a total pilgrimage for design-philes (www.greenbrier.com). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef79f4952236c536ad9c48a/f23a3515-9a9a-4d01-a9d3-14da5508188a/Screenshot+2025-06-26+at+10.30.48%E2%80%AFPM.png Journal - About Her: Interior Designer Dorothy Draper Long before it became a favorite haunt of presidents and movie stars, The Carlyle had the Draper touch. She was brought on to decorate parts of the hotel in the 1930s, applying her signature sense of glamour to New York’s most elegant address. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef79f4952236c536ad9c48a/8822e32a-df36-4645-b925-2cb87727beee/Screenshot+2025-06-26+at+10.34.23%E2%80%AFPM.png Journal - About Her: Interior Designer Dorothy Draper Her interiors at The Carlyle were more subdued than her later maximalist work, yet still distinctively hers—mirrored surfaces, rococo flourishes, and sophisticated color pairings gave the hotel a fresh kind of opulence. Draper understood the power of atmosphere, and The Carlyle became synonymous with Upper East Side chic, a reputation it still holds today. In the 1940’s, Ludwig Bemelman (author of the Madeleine book series) painted his famous mural inside what is now Bemelman’s Bar. It’s not known if Draper and Bemelman knew each other, however this mural has cemented the hotel firmly into NYC must-do’s when visiting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef79f4952236c536ad9c48a/29c1e285-a740-40a2-8e70-025621cbdecf/127801827_4119115088105828_8365761664198496645_o.jpg Journal - About Her: Interior Designer Dorothy Draper Lingua Franca Uptown references Bemelman’s free lined, romantic mural style, as painted by @pauline_de_roussy_de_sales - a short walk from the Carlyle. Though many of her original interiors have since evolved, Draper helped set the visual tone for The Carlyle's identity—and for high society hospitality more broadly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef79f4952236c536ad9c48a/8f9bc7c0-a532-48f0-b2cd-57ea78fdaafa/Screenshot+2025-05-29+at+3.22.00%E2%80%AFPM.png Journal - About Her: Interior Designer Dorothy Draper One of Draper’s lesser-known but equally ambitious commissions was the Roman Court at The Met. In the 1950s, she was asked to reimagine this classical gallery space—and she didn’t hold back. Leaning into her love for grandeur, Draper paired Greco-Roman sculpture with glossy black-and-white flooring, dramatic lighting, and richly upholstered seating. While some critics balked at the theatricality, the project exemplified her belief that design should engage the senses and draw people in. Museums, like hotels or homes, could be immersive. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef79f4952236c536ad9c48a/e720ffc5-e114-4f4a-9b80-242e106874e7/Screenshot+2025-05-29+at+3.22.11%E2%80%AFPM.png Journal - About Her: Interior Designer Dorothy Draper Though the Roman Court has since been reconfigured, the project remains a notable example of Draper’s boldness—and her willingness to infuse even sacred cultural spaces with emotion and flair. Draper’s influence can still be felt in hotels, department stores, and institutional buildings across the country. Her use of color, contrast, and scale rejected the idea that good taste must be restrained. https://www.studiosio.co.nz/journal/how-they-built-it-kat-tua monthly 0.5 2026-02-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef79f4952236c536ad9c48a/77d7582a-6f20-48d8-be44-2c205cc818f5/Screenshot+2025-10-16+at+2.34.59%E2%80%AFpm.png Journal - How to Open Your First Store: Kat Tua From Manaaki - How They Built It is a series of conversations with retail founders, restaurateurs, hoteliers, and business owners about what it really takes to open a physical space—the design process of your first storefront, your next restaurant, your dream boutique hotel. We talk about the leap from concept to concrete, the messy middle of bringing a brand to life, and how interior design shapes that transition from online to in-person. The first in this series is Kat Tua, founder of MANAAKI. MANAAKI is a menswear destination based in Aotearoa, grounded in Māori values, celebrating Māori art, storytelling and culture through clothing.. Studio Sio’s collaboration on the design for Manaaki’s first flagship store in Matakana was a real career highlight, both because the MANAAAKI brand was so rich to draw from and turn into interior design, and because Kat was so wonderful to work with. We’re so proud of the space we created together.

Her father was a furniture manufacturer; her mother came from the Ullstein family, proprietors of what was then Germany’s largest publishing empire. Immersed in a world of art and design from an early age, Albers’ childhood was filled with orchestral performances, elaborate costume parties, and private figure drawing lessons—all of which laid the groundwork for her lifelong creative pursuits. As a young adult in 1922 she enrolled in the Bauhaus, initially aspiring to become a painter. At the time, women students were unfairly restricted from disciplines like architecture or fine art and were often funneled into the weaving workshop. What began as a gendered constraint became the foundation of Albers’s lifelong practice. Whilst at the Bauhaus, Anni met the artist Josef Albers, who she later married in 1925. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef79f4952236c536ad9c48a/933cec38-aaf1-46d8-82e5-e9d25fb0b979/Albers_01.jpg Journal - About Her: textile artist Anni Albers By the early 1930s they both worked as a part of the Bauhaus faculty and elected the school to be closed rather than to comply with the looming third Reich. This was an unsettling time for the couple, who lost their jobs and feared for Anni’s life as a jewish woman in Germany. By 1933 the Albers were granted the ability to emigrate to the US, after architect Philip Johnson (an admirer of Anni’s work) offered the couple the opportunity to work at the Black Mountain College in North Carolina. In 1949, Anni became the first textile artist to have a solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, a major breakthrough that helped reframe weaving and textiles as a medium worthy of serious attention – no longer just a craft, but a serious art form. The show marked a turning point in her career, bringing wider recognition for developing an approach to weaving that was both technically rigorous and aesthetically radical. Albers was approached by Florence Knoll to design textiles for the Knoll furniture company. For the next thirty years she worked on mass-producible fabric patterns, focussing especially on her pictorial weavings, some of which are still available today. In the decades that followed, Albers wrote and taught extensively, publishing On Weaving in 1965, a text that remains essential reading for designers and makers. In the later decades of her life, Albers finally began to receive the recognition she had long earned. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef79f4952236c536ad9c48a/c22c3f73-0be0-4db7-ae23-26e36406bc70/Anni-Albers-with-textile-samples-in-her-home-in-New-Haven-Connecticut-ca.-1950-800x1234%402x.jpg Journal - About Her: textile artist Anni Albers In 1976, she was the subject of two major exhibitions in Germany, followed by a series of shows focused on her design work over the next twenty years. During this time, she received numerous lifetime achievement awards and six honorary doctorates — including the American Craft Council’s Gold Medal for "uncompromising excellence" in 1981. More recently, in 2018, the Tate Modern and the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen in Düsseldorf staged a landmark retrospective of her work — a long-overdue celebration of a life woven through modern design history. After Josef’s death in 1976, Anni continued to work, travel, and exhibit internationally until her death in 1994. Her commercial work is still available via Knoll: (https://www.maharam.com/products/eclat-weave-by-anni-albers-1974/colors/003-pine) If you’d like to dive deeper on her textiles, this excellent archive offers a look at Albers’ extraordinary range of textile work — bold, experimental, and as modern today as it was then: https://lindsayrgwatt.com/moma/artists/96/anni-albers/ And this recent collaboration with Loewe is a great watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVajwPAfRRs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef79f4952236c536ad9c48a/7bd88435-bfa2-48e0-bed6-5621c0aab6cf/Screenshot+2025-06-24+at+2.20.22%E2%80%AFAM.jpg Journal - About Her: textile artist Anni Albers As one of Albers’s earliest significant works, Wall Hanging was created while she was still a student at the Bauhaus. It combines a refined geometric structure with a quiet elegance, foreshadowing her lifelong interest in grids and modular design. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef79f4952236c536ad9c48a/988541bc-4622-4c4b-a4e6-6e07538134e8/Screenshot+2025-05-28+at+11.44.59%E2%80%AFAM.png Journal - About Her: textile artist Anni Albers The subtle rhythm of pattern and colour reflects the Bauhaus emphasis on merging craft and modern industry. Whilst the original is housed in the collection of The Museum of Modern Art, Wall Hanging has been reimagined as prints and rugs, see more here: https://christopherfarr.com/rug/design-for-wallhanging-1926/ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef79f4952236c536ad9c48a/c1b27676-0563-41ff-81d8-69948d5550af/W1siZiIsIjUxOTkyNCJdLFsicCIsImNvbnZlcnQiLCItcXVhbGl0eSA5MCAtcmVzaXplIDIwMDB4MTQ0MFx1MDAzZSJdXQ.jpg Journal - About Her: textile artist Anni Albers In the late 1940s, Harvard — like many American universities — was suddenly full again. Veterans were returning from the war, many for the first time in years stepping into quiet routines of study and shared housing. To meet the demand, the university commissioned its first Graduate Center from fellow Bauhaus alumn Walter Gropius: a sleek modernist complex that traded ivy and ornament for glass, steel, and a new kind of future. Inside these rational, postwar buildings, Gropius commissioned a number of ex-Bauhaus friends who had recently immigrated to the USA. Albers was asked to design the bedspreads and textiles for the room-dividing curtains for student rooms, amongst other more high-art installations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef79f4952236c536ad9c48a/749d4aa5-016a-45f2-aac3-c0d61d7bed8a/ma19_art_page_46_image_0002_0.jpg Journal - About Her: textile artist Anni Albers Although for the first time in the university's history Gropius had insisted upon a set budget for custom textiles, that budget was not generous. Gropius wanted something durable and affordable; Albers felt depth, colour, and feeling were of priority. Their compromise was cotton, woven into three saturated plaid patterns: hardwearing enough for daily student life, but rich enough to lend warmth to an otherwise restrained space. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef79f4952236c536ad9c48a/d2173ef7-c894-492b-b81e-fbb1a9130f73/W1siZiIsIjUxOTkxOCJdLFsicCIsImNvbnZlcnQiLCItcXVhbGl0eSA5MCAtcmVzaXplIDIwMDB4MTQ0MFx1MDAzZSJdXQ.jpg Journal - About Her: textile artist Anni Albers It’s the kind of design moment we love: quiet, considered, and entirely human. A simple thing — a bedspread — but in Albers’ hands, a reminder that even the most functional objects can hold warmth, memory, and meaning. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef79f4952236c536ad9c48a/16a3307c-3ac1-4afa-923d-cceb2f6683bb/Annie_JosefAlbers_033.jpg Journal - About Her: textile artist Anni Albers Made later in her career, Epitaph is both a technical and emotional achievement. A jacquard-woven textile that integrates synthetic and natural fibers, it’s one of her most poetic works. Throughout her career she utlised non-traditional materials jute, paper, horse hair, and cellophane in her weaving. In the early 1940s, when Albers’ new classroom at the Connecticut was still without looms, she sent her students outside to collect their own weaving materials from nature, while imagining the ingenuity of ancient weavers who worked without a supplier catalogue. This mixture of what is available and what is man made or at hand has resulted in works with incredible texture and depth like Epitaph. The monochrome palette and quiet geometry suggest solemnity, yet the shifting rhythm of the composition feels alive. The title invites personal and historical readings—possibly a tribute, a farewell, or a reflection on loss and legacy. It exemplifies Albers’s unique ability to balance abstraction and intimacy, transforming thread into narrative. While Epitaph could be read as an endnote, it is more accurately a summation of Albers’s lifelong philosophy: that weaving is a language—tactile, precise, and profoundly human. https://www.studiosio.co.nz/journal/in-practice-florals monthly 0.5 2025-09-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef79f4952236c536ad9c48a/2c3e41eb-441e-4101-9346-ba0160e2a230/Yuri+Print+WP+_+Blue+_+Green+%281%29.jpg Journal - In Practice: Studio Sio’s Favourite Florals - Clarence house Yuri Print A studio favourite in all color ways; and as both a fabric and a wallpaper - this painterly water color like print is at the same time vintage feeling without feeling grandma-like.

After briefly returning to California to care for her ailing mother, Ray enrolled at the Cranbrook Academy of Art in Michigan, where she met Charles Eames. Married in 1941, Ray and Charles formed one of the most iconic design partnerships of their era, merging their unique talents. To fully dedicate themselves to their work, the Eameses employed domestic help for cooking, housekeeping, and gardening. Although they had no children together, Ray maintained a close relationship with Charles's daughter from a previous marriage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef79f4952236c536ad9c48a/d67c631e-c60e-4653-b3fd-3a5b143c312f/000113_charlesAndRayEames3.jpg Journal - About Her: artist, designer, and architect Ray Eames This progressive family structure for the time allowed Ray the freedom to focus entirely on her extensive body of work. Their designs have been exhibited internationally for decades at prominent institutions such as MoMA, the Vitra Design Museum, Cooper Hewitt, Triennale di Milano, and the Library of Congress. Ray was also a founding member of the American Abstract Artists (AAA), established in 1936 to promote abstraction at a time when it wasn't widely recognized by major museums and galleries. Ray is now a household name, her work contributing to shaping the homes of families worldwide. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef79f4952236c536ad9c48a/ef4f52ec-3a39-4c0f-bf84-429cba245818/OA_ENs004.jpeg Journal - About Her: artist, designer, and architect Ray Eames The Entenza House was among several groundbreaking Case Study Houses designed by the Eames Office for Arts & Architecture magazine editor John Entenza. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef79f4952236c536ad9c48a/2322f6ac-0a6d-4e98-8496-d42182bb1d82/gri_2004_r_10_b199_752_17H.jpg Journal - About Her: artist, designer, and architect Ray Eames Completed in 1950, the house is notable for its vibrant exterior panels, reflecting geometric influences reminiscent of Piet Mondrian and echoing Ray’s early mentorship under Hans Hofmann.

Built as both their home and office, they used materials from industrial catalogs to form its unique shape. Its distinctive use of color and thoughtful composition reflect Ray’s abstract painterly background. The striking double-height living room, illuminated by expansive windows and softened by warm timber-clad walls, showcases Ray’s signature layering of richly textured fabrics and materials. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef79f4952236c536ad9c48a/8cb2cad9-4c63-4491-a2f0-e7c001c23f9d/CH40.jpg Journal - About Her: artist, designer, and architect Ray Eames The interiors of their home continue to inspire contemporary design over 70 years later.

This experience inspired her to fully embrace interior design professionally, starting notably with the Colony Club—New York’s first social club exclusively for women. De Wolfe later married British diplomat Sir Charles Mendl, though she remained living with Marbury until Marbury’s death in 1933. Elsie de Wolfe spent her later years between New York City and Versailles, passing away in France in 1950. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef79f4952236c536ad9c48a/4fa8a384-e679-43b1-bc47-eb57692408a4/trellis-room-colony-club.jpg Journal - About Her: interior designer Elsie de Wolfe De Wolfe’s professional interior design debut, the Colony Club, was New York's first women-only social club (and is still in existence today!). The architecture was designed by McKim, Mead & White, whilst de Wolfe designed the interiors. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef79f4952236c536ad9c48a/950c34e9-4449-449e-b0f6-ba33cfccfc88/SIL-LB032030.jpg Journal - About Her: interior designer Elsie de Wolfe The Trellis Room (pictured above), decorated with white lattice walls and lush climbing vines, featured delicate wicker furniture paired with floral-patterned cushions, capturing her signature style—fresh, airy, and comfortably elegant, moving decisively away from Victorian formality.

The Garden Room's baby blue trellised walls, color blocked pastel furnishings, and lighting styled after flower spring bouquets exemplify de Wolfe’s playful yet sophisticated approach to color, theme, and pattern. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef79f4952236c536ad9c48a/1110bcfc-1796-43b1-9ee8-f8ba86d582c9/LX_COM23_Market_Trend_TeaHouse8X4image.jpg Journal - About Her: interior designer Elsie de Wolfe The mural painted by Everett Shinn above the fireplace adds a fairy-tale charm, enhancing the room’s delightful atmosphere. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef79f4952236c536ad9c48a/9d521fd9-c49a-4ad3-b4ef-ad9da969928c/31338571708_f565b7db76_b.jpg Journal - About Her: interior designer Elsie de Wolfe We highly recommend a day trip to visit the Tea House, only a 1.5 hour drive from NYC!

The renowned Music Pavilion garden room, captured by artist William Bruce Ellis Ranken (pictured above), served as an exquisite setting for legendary gatherings. A Marie Antionette influenced trellis style, layered and cut into wainscotting, decorative casing, and arches were painted a more traditional greenroom kelly green. Further use of Trompe l'œil murals created little universes in each room. Her signature color-blocked furniture was showcased in the upholstery of the Louis XVI chairs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef79f4952236c536ad9c48a/a5e8dadc-bdfc-458f-9ff6-7c95f701df00/gallery%252B2.jpg Journal - About Her: interior designer Elsie de Wolfe Soft sheer drapery gathered in windows creating a soft warm interior light, reminiscent of a greenhouse in the morning. de Wolfe hosted her famed Circus Balls at the villa, marking the height of pre-war Parisian social life. At one event, de Wolfe once led a miniature circus of trained ponies and dogs along the great lawn while dressed in an evening gown and an aquamarine-and-diamond headdress by Cartier. These events drew over 700 guests, including notable figures such as Coco Chanel, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, and the Rothschilds. The villa has undergone several ownership changes since de Wolfe's death in 1950. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef79f4952236c536ad9c48a/b4dc668d-484d-4606-8950-d30c10f437a5/Interior_of_Elsie_De_Wolfes_music_pavilion_looking_out_on_to_the_pool_The_Villa_Trianon.jpg Journal - About Her: interior designer Elsie de Wolfe After being shuttered for three decades, it was sold in the 1980s, and its contents were auctioned off at the Hôtel Georges V in Paris.

Despite her pioneering contributions, Gray’s talent went largely unrecognized until late in her life. In this newsletter, we highlight three key projects that define her influential career. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef79f4952236c536ad9c48a/1c82d459-2cb9-42c2-9b14-f8cbfa64b3cc/eileen-gray-portrait.jpg Journal - About Her: interior designer Eileen Gray Born in Ireland in 1878 to an artist father, Gray became one of the first women admitted to London's prestigious Slade School of Art in 1898. Her regular visits to the Victoria and Albert Museum ignited a lifelong passion for lacquerware, leading her to train under Japanese master Seizo Sugawara. After moving to Paris in 1902, Gray and her friend Jessie Gavin would often visit spaces where women were barred, with Gavin dressing in men’s clothing to gain entry to “places where you can’t go without a man.” Gray herself was openly bisexual and part of prominent queer circles in Paris at this time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef79f4952236c536ad9c48a/1aa014ce-3f71-4dc2-afb8-f6118d37283f/25iht-design25-pic1-superJumbo.jpg Journal - About Her: interior designer Eileen Gray Initially, Gray had a positive relationship with famed modernist architect Le Corbusier, who admired Villa E-1027’s innovative design. However, their relationship soured, reportedly due to Le Corbusier's jealousy of Gray's talent. In 1972, designer Yves Saint Laurent purchased one of Gray's pieces and the first ever retrospective exhibition of her work was held in London, sparking renewed public interest in her career. Gray continued working until her death at age 98, finally achieving significant recognition in the 1990s. Today, Gray’s pioneering contributions to design are widely celebrated. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef79f4952236c536ad9c48a/0f74a4ba-4c36-464b-97c3-bc988880219f/Screenshot+2025-04-10+at+1.50.24%E2%80%AFPM.jpg Journal - About Her: interior designer Eileen Gray Villa E-1027 remains Gray’s most acclaimed architectural achievement. Initially misattributed solely to Badovici and even sometimes to Le Corbusier, Gray's role gained proper recognition through a pivotal 1967 essay by Joseph Rykwert. The villa, named after Gray's and Badovici's initials, differs from modernist open-plan designs, progressively revealing interior spaces. Integrated furnishings—including rotating screens, modular tables, wardrobes doubling as movable walls, convertible sofas, and adjustable mirrors—illustrate Gray’s holistic approach. Its color palette, combining white walls, metallic accents, and vivid blues, complements the coastal setting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef79f4952236c536ad9c48a/45a6864c-1b1e-4c8f-a328-202139c4ecce/2021_E1027_EG_03560%C2%A9ManuelBougot.jpg Journal - About Her: interior designer Eileen Gray The villa’s history is marked by controversy. After Gray moved out, Badovici permitted Le Corbusier to paint murals on its walls, which Gray criticized as acts of vandalism (due to their purposeful opposition to the Villa's colour scheme and offensive references to her sexuality). Le Corbusier remained fixated on the villa and spent much of his lifetime focussed on it, unsuccessfully attempting to purchase it, and tragically drowned in the bay in front of it in 1965. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef79f4952236c536ad9c48a/38a10625-1fdc-4619-a1e9-2ddf73e991d7/2021_E1027_EG_05686%C2%A9ManuelBougot.jpg Journal - About Her: interior designer Eileen Gray During World War II, German soldiers damaged the villa by using its walls for target practice. Later, in 1980, owner Marie-Louise Schelbert died in Zurich three days after her physician, Dr. Peter Kägi, secretly auctioned off nearly all of Gray’s original furniture from the property. Kägi subsequently inherited the villa, hosting notorious parties until his murder in the living room in 1996.

Its height-adjustable chrome frame and glass top arose from the simple yet thoughtful desire to comfortably enjoy breakfast in bed, with the tubular top lip surround preventing crumbs in the sheets. The round base is designed to sit around a bed leg. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef79f4952236c536ad9c48a/e870072d-b6c5-410c-913e-12f7c94058c8/DSC_7127_3.jpg Journal - About Her: interior designer Eileen Gray This table remains one of Gray’s most iconic and reproduced pieces, reflecting both functionality and elegance.

Gray integrated curved wood and metal furnishings with bold contrasts, such as a zebra-print carpet flowing onto tiled floors. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef79f4952236c536ad9c48a/4b895fa1-64f4-4f6d-be2f-0dc378b55d9c/design-museum-most-impressive-items-ever-auctioned-by-christies-5-32e405.jpg Journal - About Her: interior designer Eileen Gray This project illustrated her innovative approach, merging furniture and architecture into cohesive, harmonious environments—a principle that became a hallmark of her career. https://www.studiosio.co.nz/journal/category/About+Her monthly 0.5 https://www.studiosio.co.nz/journal/category/interior+design monthly 0.5 https://www.studiosio.co.nz/journal/category/Favourite+Lists monthly 0.5 https://www.studiosio.co.nz/journal/category/Studio+Updates monthly 0.5 https://www.studiosio.co.nz/journal/tag/About+Her monthly 0.5 https://www.studiosio.co.nz/journal/tag/new+zealand+hotel monthly 0.5 https://www.studiosio.co.nz/journal/tag/Lillian+Gilbreth monthly 0.5 https://www.studiosio.co.nz/journal/tag/Historic+Interiors monthly 0.5 https://www.studiosio.co.nz/journal/tag/retail monthly 0.5 https://www.studiosio.co.nz/journal/tag/Bauhaus monthly 0.5 https://www.studiosio.co.nz/journal/tag/interviews monthly 0.5 https://www.studiosio.co.nz/journal/tag/Anni+Albers monthly 0.5 https://www.studiosio.co.nz/journal/tag/commercial+design monthly 0.5 https://www.studiosio.co.nz/journal/tag/adaptive+reuse monthly 0.5 https://www.studiosio.co.nz/journal/tag/hospitality monthly 0.5 https://www.studiosio.co.nz/journal/tag/floral monthly 0.5 https://www.studiosio.co.nz/journal/tag/Textile+Design monthly 0.5 https://www.studiosio.co.nz/journal/tag/hotel+design monthly 0.5 https://www.studiosio.co.nz/journal/tag/flowers monthly 0.5 https://www.studiosio.co.nz/journal/tag/Dorothy+Draper monthly 0.5 https://www.studiosio.co.nz/journal/tag/list monthly 0.5 https://www.studiosio.co.nz/journal/tag/millwork monthly 0.5 https://www.studiosio.co.nz/journal/tag/interior+design monthly 0.5 https://www.studiosio.co.nz/journal/tag/lists monthly 0.5 https://www.studiosio.co.nz/journal/tag/vintage monthly 0.5 https://www.studiosio.co.nz/journal/tag/how+they+built+it monthly 0.5 https://www.studiosio.co.nz/journal/tag/hospitality+design monthly 0.5 https://www.studiosio.co.nz/journal/tag/Our+Favourites monthly 0.5 https://www.studiosio.co.nz/journal/tag/ray+eames monthly 0.5 https://www.studiosio.co.nz/contact daily 0.75 2025-08-04 https://www.studiosio.co.nz/old-rose-restaurant daily 0.75 2025-06-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef79f4952236c536ad9c48a/1593302420635-UJKO478549AXXSGRBJFL/2f8c4c60df170d1abbbd1f640cd593d1.jpg Old Rose Restaurant Historic restaurant Old Rose at the Jane Hotel.
