Uniting Detroit Designers Through Illumination

This September, the theme of Design Core’s Month of Design is United by Design. It encourages collaboration among the creative community to recognize Detroit’s role as a UNESCO City of Design. With celebrations like these, the goal is to establish Detroit as an internationally recognized center of design, innovation and creativity. This aspiration lines up with ROSSETTI’s vision of Detroit Local and our effort to establish our city as the center of architecture, planning and design talent.

Last night, ROSSETTI hosted ILLUMINATION, a fantastic collaboration with Clarus Lighting + Controls, Marx Moda, Chauvet Lighting and Lawrence Technological University. This allowed us to open our doors for Detroit creatives to come together, meet new people and interact. It enabled us to express our craft by experimenting with furniture and lighting in our own design shop. Furthermore, the event reinforced the theme of the month: we united with fellow designers to develop an installation while creating opportunity for local creatives to come together and celebrate what we admire: design and Detroit.

ILLUMINATION was a successful celebration of Detroit design and architecture. The free public event on our patio created the right environment to view and interact with the lighting installations while providing views to Detroit. The event allowed us to socialize and reconnect with old friends and create new connections. We are thrilled to be an active part of the Detroit Month of Design, and we are confident that ILLUMINATION inspired our visitors to make their mark in Detroit and the world.
