Hospitality Style

Here's a way the hospitality design industry can do a little more to help the devastated nation of Haiti get back on its feet. Lulan Artisans is a groundbreaking company producing design-forward textiles through environmentally sustainable methods in conjunction with artists in underprivileged countries, mostly in Southest Asia. They've also been developing a program in Haiti, providing economic opportunities with fair-trade wages and a community-building mindset, and they're rededicating that effort in the aftermath of the earthquake. Fortunately, Lulan also happens to be running its first-ever design competition, and the winners get to work directly with Haitian and Southest Asian artisans to bring the designs to market. It's a great opportunity for designers to advance their careers and do a little good at the same time. Find out more about Lulan Artisans here.
