SEATTLE, WA, UNITED STATES, April 26, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ – The Seattle Design Center (DEZA), the only designer showroom in the Pacific Northwest, today launches its first podcast series, “Inspired Design: Iconic People and Iconic Places ” will be available from May 5, 2021 via Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Play, Stitcher and Outcast. This seven-episode podcast, moderated by Gina Colucci, the core of the SDC, offers an impressive and diverse selection of artists from the Pacific Northwest, designers, musicians, chefs and managing directors who also tell intimate stories about their favorite rooms personally or who live in the community.

Inspired design arouses curiosity, sharpens the senses and takes every listener into the depths of their preferred cult spaces.

Inspired Design brings authentic and inspiring conversations to listeners who truly appreciate the intricacies of design and crave newfound knowledge about the brilliant minds that amaze us and the distinctive spaces that evoke emotion. Colucci says: “The SDC created this podcast to delve deep into some of the PNW’s most brilliant minds – to learn and discover what inspires them through space, design or texture. As I bonded with each guest, my love for Seattle exploded with deep admiration and sparked a sense of childlike excitement that I believe applies to every listener from industry insiders to curious designers. “
