A new Web-based video home makeover series from Sunbrella® fabrics and Lonny Magazine is currently airing digitally on the Sunbrella website (www.sun brella.com) and through the online content of Lonny Magazine. Set in Atlanta, Georgia, the series, Perspective: Atlanta, follows interior designer Alex Gaston as he decorates an urban loft using Sunbrella fabrics and transforms it from a jumble of architectural features into a cohesive space.
Gaston, who is design director for Mark Cunningham Inc. (New York, New York), uses Sunbrella fabric for any and all applications possible, from furniture to drapery and rugs to wall coverings— for every room in the loft. Other important players in the project are Celina Wright, a junior designer at Mark Cunningham; Gina Wicker, Sunbrella’s design and creative director; and editors of Lonny Magazine who check in and review the design progress throughout the makeover.
“People all over the world know Sunbrella fabrics for outdoor living— awnings, boats, and outdoor furniture— but many people are just discovering our vast availability as an indoor-fabric option through leading furniture manufacturers and fabric by the yard,” Wicker says. “Perspective: Atlanta will grow people’s understanding of Sunbrella fabric as an interior-upholstery option for all kinds of applications, including sofas, chairs, ottomans, wall coverings, draperies, and more.”
The fabric-inspired story of Perspective: Atlanta has been airing weekly since April 22, 2013. Eight episodes (and several additional tip videos) have been produced to highlight design concepts that drive Gaston’s creations while illustrating for viewers how to select, buy, and stage furnishings that are beautiful, as well as worry-free.
