Designers Explain Tectonic Shifts in Interiors

AS WE HEAD into spring,
only one thing is certain in the
interior design market: A lot of
things are happening at once.

To go over them all, the
Jewish Exponent talked to
three designers in the Greater
Philadelphia area.

Michelle Erdosi,
owner, Aeternum Design
Studio, Philadelphia
In September, Erdosi talked
about how, during the
pandemic, with people home
more often, houses and
apartments were becoming
“multifunctional.” A breakfast nook could be
for eating the day’s first meal or
working from your laptop, for
example. A bedroom could be
for sleeping or taking a Zoom
meeting. But now, post-omicron,
according to Erdosi, clients
are emerging from their
homes, or “survival mode,”
as she describes our collec-
tive approach to 2020 and ’21,
and looking out again. The
designer, due to this develop-
ment and her background in
commercial design, has made
like her customers and shifted
back toward focusing on it.

Clients are starting to ask
her the question that most
white-collar participants in the
economy are asking: What’s
the future of the office going to
look like?
