Erin Jacob
DIRECTOR OF DESIGN
As a nod to the VOGUE’s 73 questions - here are a few we asked D2’s D. of D. - but kept it to lucky No. 13.
1. If you could live in any home in a TV series or movie, which would it be?
If you allow me to pick outside the “screen” - I would choose to live any of the Slim Aarons photos. Bright colors, teased hair and the clothes…heaven.
2. Favorite place to be?
Almost anywhere I can see water. and being with my dog Ted. Preferably both are happening at the same time.
3. Three words that you would choose to describe yourself at your job?
Calm, detail orientated and comfortable I can work with any situation that comes my way.
4. What is one thing that people wouldn’t know about you that you are willing to share?
Despite all the traveling I have done up to this point - I have yet to go to Paris! I am waiting for just the perfect moment in life to experience it for the first time.
5. What did you want to do with your life at age 12?
I was best known for re-decorating my room 1000 times (including glueing up my Laura Ashley wallpaper border - oh my) - so I was destined to be happiest in the design. Would have been okay to be a pro tennis player too.
6. What is your favorite color?
Overall? pink - I know, I know. For walls - white to make a perfect canvas for great art.
7. Quick best travel memory…
So many, but No. 1 is the summer in the Med on a sailboat, including the sunflowers in Sardinia and arrival by sea to Bonafacio, Corsica. The memory still blows my mind.
8. What design trends are you loving?
Lime-washed looking walls - all though not entirely sure that it is a trend. It creates the most beautiful light.
9. Guiding design principal/motto?
Form (beauty) + function - which is why I am obsessed with kitchens and baths.
10. Super-power you wish you had?
Speaking French flawlessly, and to carry a tune. Preferably both are happening at the same time.
11. One skill you want to work on?
Perspective drawing - I consider free hand drawing a super power too.
12. Heels. flats or sneakers?
flip-flops
13. How do you spot a well designed room?
I always think to myself, would I want to read a book in this room? If the answer is yes, job well done.
