Lonny loves Hinkley!

We couldn’t be more thrilled for our client Hinkley Lighting on their wonderful feature in the May/June issue of Lonny Magazine.
Launched in October 2009, Lonny is a bi-monthly online magazine that focuses on lifestyle and home decor.

The article primarily features advice on stylish, well-executed outdoor landscape lighting, but also showcases some of the exquisite lifestyle photography that we have concepted and styled along with the team at Hinkley.

Congrats on the great press for a local design and manufacturing company out of Northeast Ohio.


Visit us @ Tremont Art Walk

We at Chartreuse would like to invite you to Banyan Tree this Friday, May 11 from 6-8pm where our Underground Cards will be making their Tremont Art Walk debut.

Every month Banyan Tree selects an area artist or designer to share their work in the boutique during the monthly art walk. When asked, we jumped at the opportunity to partner with Banyan Tree to show off the greeting card collection. We also thought it would be a great way to enjoy an evening in Tremont, enjoying springtime shopping and visiting with our clients and friends.

Please stop by and take a look at all of the great new spring/summer items at Banyan Tree, including their latest collection of Figwood fashions. The entire collection is both stylish and very comfortable.

Banyan Tree is located at 2242 Professor Ave across the street from Dante. We hope to see you there!

Wellness at Work!

Here at the studio we make “wellness” a priority. We live by the phrase work hard, play hard. We pride ourselves as a team of designers not only passionate about design, advertising and marketing but about running, cycling and yoga.

At the studio Michelle Z also wears the hat of “wellness director” for our team. She orgazines monthly fun wellness outings where we are able to go out, move our bodies and our minds and enjoy spending good quality time together as a group. This past winter we managed to scoot out early on a Friday to visit the local ice skating rink where we “toe picked” around, practicing our balance, speed and most of all of appreciation for not falling down.

We also took a few hours out of our day to attend a film at the 36th annual Cleveland International Film Festival as part of our “wellness” practices. Nothing feels as good as a matinée movie on a work day!

Last but not least, Chartreuse was a finalist for the 2012 COSE/Cleveland Museum of Natural History “Wellness at Work Awards.” The three of us attended a lovely cocktail and dinner soireé awards ceremony at the Intercontinental Hotel. The evening was really “sWELL!”

On our future list of wellness outings? Indoor mountain biking, Zumba, lots of summer bike rides, jogging and more! Stay tuned, you never know what we will get into next. Now, back to design!

Family Circle Magazine

A few months ago when Charity’s home was featured on Design Sponge her email inbox was filled with requests about design, home interiors, styling; it was all very exciting.

One of the requests that stood out was a note from one of the editors at Family Circle Magazine about contributing ideas for an upcoming story, “50 Easy Decorating Ideas for under $50.” One morning over a few cups of coffee the team brainstormed every idea from interior painting techniques to more indie-crafty home decor solutions, it was a unique brainstorm to say the least.

Flash forward to the April issue of Family Circle Magazine and our suggestion of spray painting your old toys (plastic dinosaurs to be specific) with high-gloss white paint and using them as small additions to any table scape or room decor made it’s way onto the newsstand. Since we have such a passion for styling and interior space design, we were thrilled!

The article also featured other designs such as Jonathan Adler, John Derian & Nate Berkus. To read the entire piece visit their website at www.familycircle.com
