True Collaboration – The Interior Design Style of Robin Lechner Designs

A few decades ago, interior design showrooms were open to the trade only, and every family hired a designer. Back then, the traditional role of Interior Designer was that of gatekeeper of design. Hours, days, and weeks were spent going through showrooms, hunting down just the right elements for a design scheme, and taking samples to clients for approval. The internet changed all that. Today, everyone has access to worldwide product and design resources. Along with accessibility and more educated consumers, however, there’s a bewildering array of options and absence of education on how to curate and put together a total design scheme. These conditions create their own set of challenges.

Understanding the necessity of change in the role of the Interior Designer, Principal Robin Lechner developed a new business model for her Interior Design firm. After first creating a conceptual framework for customized design by navigating abundant internet sources, Robin includes the client in meetings with contractors and trades people. The client participates in the collaboration of the inspiration of the designer with the talent of the artisan, and technical product development of the manufacturer. This firsthand experience instills the client’s confidence, builds trust and an understanding of product creation and development. The current interior design experience is modern, approachable, and interesting. It’s an accumulation of meaningful experiences with a depth of understanding of the end product, resulting in engaging and functional interior design schemes that reflect the unique needs and lifestyles of clients. Modern interior design is an authentic lifestyle concept with design schemes that are honest and reflect client aesthetics.

The new model of Interior Designer is that of editor and curator with true collaboration that combines the utilization of the internet as a springboard of inspiration, narrowing down options and customizing at showroom meetings with skilled designers and manufacturers, and the involvement of the client with on site sourcing of product creation.
