The Bermuda Society of Interior Designers (BSID) has once again presented another beautiful show of 25 wreaths at the BSID Charity Wreath Show and Silent Auction, running from now until Thursday, December 1st.
The show, on exhibit just outside of Gibbons Home store in the upper level of the Washington Mall, features a broad spectrum of creative one-of-a-kind wreaths. They range from the traditional Holiday forms like “Wish Upon a Driftwood Star” by Diane Saunders to the more unusual and unique creations like the “Extra Extra! Read all about it”, an entry by Erica Raubenheimer.
Entrants were also judged for originality, creativity, execution and use of materials, with prizes awarded for Best in Show, three Runners Up, and 2 Honourable Mention awards. This year’s judges included Julie Mayor of Washington Properties, Sheelagh Cooper of the Coalition for the Protection of Children and a special international judge was also invited to participate in the judging team this year. Feras Irikat, is the Director of Design and Marketing for Lunada Bay tile and was on island to give a lecture to the design community sponsored by Pembroke Tile and Stone.
A Fan Favourite prize will also be given to the wreath with the most Likes on Facebook. This is generating a lot of interest and is fun for entrants to promote their creation with friends online.
All prizes have been donated by BSID Industry Alliance members and winners will be presented at the close of the show on December 1st. The exhibit is open during regular Washington Mall hours, from Monday to Saturday, 8.30am until 5.30pm.
Interior Designers provide their clients with the innovative interiors and progressive workplaces and use standards and codes that make their facilities ergonomically efficient, esthetically stimulating, and safe, environmentally friendly spaces. This knowledge requires a specialized degree from an accredited school and there are currently several Bermudian students studying the profession at recognized schools in the UK, USA and Canada as well as via specialized remote programs. The Bermuda Society of Interior Designers supports their efforts with their Annual Scholarship that this show partly benefits. The Scholarship was launched in 1992 and has awarded over $140,000.00 since its inception. Chanika Jones a three time recipient of a Scholarship is pleased to support the professional designers who support her, she has also created a wreath this year for the Show and Auction.
The Coalition for the Protection of Children has been chosen as the joint beneficiary for the third year in a row. The Coalition provides services which address critical but unmet needs of children and their families and ensures that all children grow up in a safe and nurturing environment. This mission is complementary to the Interior Designers role as designers of safe and functional spaces for families, businesses and the community as well as their desire to support and mentor students.
In past years, individual wreaths have fetched over $350, with the last few hours of the auction seeing bidding wars for favourite wreaths. For this reason, it is suggested that you place your highest bid early and watch bidding carefully to insure you get the wreath you want. Bids have been placed on many wreaths already and continues until 7pm on December 1st. Bids can either be placed in the book at the exhibition or via the BSID Facebook Page. Facebook access can also be gained through their website at www.bsid.bm.
This event is sponsored by Washington Properties, Pembroke Tile and Stone, Luminart Lighting, Bermuda Interiors, COE, Sticks and Stones, Furniture Flair, By Design Ltd., Air Care, Spinneybeck, Rowe Spurling, Frameworks, Michele Smith, Surface Trends, Bate Trading, Convoy Custom, Surface Trends, and Furniture Craft.
