The April issue of Domino magazine has a feature enetitled “The Narrative Decorator.” Maybe its my lack of visual sensability, but I couldn’t discern a whole lot of storytelling in the design work of Fawn Galli, the featured decorator. Words/phrases like “dreams,” “favorite memories,” “fantasy,” “storyscapes of fabric, furniture, and paint,” “magical mystery tour,” and “fairy tale” are used in the feature, and Galli is said to “see storytelling opportunities everywhere.”
The storytelling comes across even less well in the web version of the feature.
But perhaps I should just delight in the idea that storytelling is cool enough to be associated with an up-and-coming designer.
