The world is becoming a smaller place which is why international design is more important than ever. After traveling around the world, traveling around the USA almost seems like a constant reminder of where I’ve been. I was in a hotel in Minneapolis which had a whole wall covered in an intricate batik pattern. This immediately gave me a flashback to northern java in Indonesia. The more I look around the more I see international looks, it has to be the fact that every corner of the globe is more accessible than ever. I think we will continue to see designs in normal walks of life inspired from far away places. This is a very exciting time for international design, every country, culture and community can participate.
