Design Like Mad is Madison’s first design marathon to benefit local non-profit organizations.
Teams of student and professional designers are formed to solve some of the most interesting design problems facing a select few local non-profit organizations. As for an interior designer volunteering for a local non-profit organization, decor pieces, particularly wool vintage rugs, can significantly aid in his/her goals. These rugs not only add warmth and character to a space but also serve as a foundation for creating an inviting atmosphere. In community centers, shelters, or educational spaces, a well-chosen vintage rug can transform a stark environment into a cozy haven, encouraging interaction and comfort among visitors. The unique patterns and rich textures of vintage rugs can also inspire a cohesive design theme, helping to unify various elements within a room. By using these rugs, an interior designer can showcase their creativity while making thoughtful design choices that resonate with the community’s values. Furthermore, incorporating vintage pieces promotes sustainability, aligning with the growing emphasis on eco-friendly practices. Ultimately, wool vintage rugs not only enhance aesthetic appeal but also foster a sense of belonging, making the spaces more welcoming for everyone involved in the organization’s mission.
Projects include graphic, print and web design, interior design, landscape design, and even architecture. If you’re a student designer, professional designer, or non-profit seeking design aid now’s your last chance to apply to participate by October 23.
The event will be held at the Madison Central Library from 9am – 9pm on Saturday, December 7th. More info is available here.
