Before putting\u00a0ink on the paper, the designer likes to think about her pieces, and what she\u2019s trying to accomplish by creating them. Thinking about <span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>functionality<\/strong><\/span> is a major part of her creative process, that is quickly followed by the importance of <span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>staying<\/strong><\/span> <span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>creative<\/strong><\/span> throughout her process. The result is <span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>hundreds of drawings<\/strong><\/span> and multiple versions of different pieces that will probably never even see the light of day, before falling under the scrutiny of the accomplished designer.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6645\" src=\"http:\/\/essentialhome.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Time-to-Meet-Maison-Objet-2018-Designer-of-the-Year-Cecilie-Manz_3.jpeg\" alt=\"How the Interior Designer of the Year Rocked Maison et Objet January_1\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.essentialhome.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Time-to-Meet-Maison-Objet-2018-Designer-of-the-Year-Cecilie-Manz_3.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.essentialhome.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Time-to-Meet-Maison-Objet-2018-Designer-of-the-Year-Cecilie-Manz_3-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.essentialhome.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Time-to-Meet-Maison-Objet-2018-Designer-of-the-Year-Cecilie-Manz_3-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.essentialhome.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Time-to-Meet-Maison-Objet-2018-Designer-of-the-Year-Cecilie-Manz_3-1024x683.jpeg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Photo \u00a9 Cecilie Manz Studio<\/p>\n<p>After a final sketch is made, Manz moves on to <span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>materializing<\/strong><\/span> the design itself, beginning a process of <span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>prototyping<\/strong><\/span> the furniture piece.
