Martyn Lawrence-Bullards Emmy Green Room From Concept to Completion

On Monday, we showed you one of Martyn Lawrence-Bullard‘s prelimnary sketches for this year’s Emmy Award green room. Our pals over at Architectural Digest were kind enough to follow up with a photo of the finished product. Seemed interesting to us, to see it from concept to completion, so we thought we’d share it here, side by side.

Looks pretty swanky. We were a bit concerned that it might turn out a little too pastel or bright, based off of the initial drawings, but fortunately it looks like Lawrence-Bullard was just using lighter inks on the paper, but actually had darker in his head.

Betsey Johnson to Design Eloise-Inspired Room at the Plaza Hotel

0918eloplaza.jpg

Do you hold fond memories in your heart of writer Kay Thompson and illustrator Hilary Knight‘s Eloise books? Or better still, have children who have taken a liking to them? If so, and you happen to have lots of disposable income, now’s your chance to experience some of the book, as fashion icon Betsey Johnson will be designing a suite at the Plaza Hotel in New York based on the series of books staring that precocious youngster and her pink and black-striped home within the famous hotel. The suite hasn’t been finished yet, as Johnson has been wrapped up with all the trappings of Fashion Week, but will begin work designing it just as soon as this week ends. However, the Plaza already has their reservations pages up and running and those who stay in the suite will have access to its two bedrooms, receive a copy of Eloise, some postcards, and free “Super Duper Sundae from In-Room Dining.” Rates start at $895 per night, or $3,595 per night for the “Live Like Eloise Slumber Party Package.”

Behind the Scenes as Martyn Lawrence-Bullard Designs the Emmys Green Room

0914emmydesign.jpg

For the past eight years, Architectural Digest has gotten the choice gig of creating the green room for the annual Emmy Awards, via a designer they pick to develop the project for them (they also do up the Academy Awards‘ celebrity waiting room, the last occurrence of which we reported on back in February). This year, they’ve hired designer-to-the-stars Martyn Lawrence-Bullard and with him, have gone beyond their usual couple of press releases and a feature in the magazine by also starting a blog, with Lawrence-Bullard taking time off from, you know, actually designing and building out the space, to talking about his concepts for it, the execution of the project, etc. The blog’s been fairly sparse thus far, with just three entries since its quiet launch back in early July (or perhaps these posts were just created a bit early, to test things out), but each covers a lot of ground, with a few dozen paragraphs per post all about what’s been going on. So while you might not have access backstage on Sunday night when the big Emmy show kicks off, it’s a nice look at the work going into where all those television people will be hanging out, preparing for their inane patter and bad joke delivery.
