| The Design Talk/ Media Lounge Space for Design Miami/2009 designed by New York School of Interior Design (NYSID) (www.nysid.edu) students Sarah Muchow (BFA 2010), Daniel Park (BFA 2010), and Stefan Steil (MFA 2010) was revealed to the international press on December 1 at the event's opening press conference. Design Miami/ selected NYSID to be the first educational institution to contribute to the interior layout of one of its venues since the design show debuted in December 2005. "As ever Design Miami/ strives to collaborate with some of most interesting and influential institutions throughout the world," said Ambra Medda, the organization's co-founder and director. "We decided to collaborate with the students at NYSID as we had never explored working with interior designers. We thought this would be a great way to support emerging talent and demonstrate how we stand to support and give an opportunity to a future generation of designers. NYSID was a wonderful partner to have, and the students demonstrated great vision and quality." The students' design concept, which explored the changing notions of luxury in a time of recession, integrated high-end furniture provided by Capellini and Poltrona Frau and wall covering supplied by Maya Romanoff with hand-made decorative accents. Benjamin Moore donated paint for the installation. NYSID professors René Estacio and Debra Bryant served as faculty advisors to the design team, assisted by lighting professor John Katimaris. According to NYSID president Christopher Cyphers, "The opportunity for our students to participate in one of the most important—if not the most important—design events in the US was a tremendous honor. The student design team had the chance to showcase its talent and professionalism before an international audience of designers, critics and collectors." Design Miami/ is partnered with Art Basel Miami Beach, the most significant art show in the United States and sister event of Switzerland's world renowned Art Basel, held every June. ## Founded in 1916, the New York School of Interior Design (NYSID) is New York's only private, not-for-profit college devoted exclusively to interior design education and that of related disciplines. NYSID's guiding principle is that the interior environment is a fundamental element of human welfare, and the college is committed to actively improving, through design, the quality of life for all segments of humanity. This ideal is put into practice by a dedicated faculty of well-known designers, architects, art historians, and authorities in the field who guide a diverse student body of over 750 full- and part-time students. NYSID offers certificate, undergraduate and graduate programs in the field of interior design, design history and theory, and sustainable design. The college is an accredited institutional member of the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD), and NYSID's BFA is accredited by the Council for Interior Design Accreditation (CIDA).
