For the founders of Object Lust, it was destiny that brought them together. As interior designers, Susan Schaub and Scott Bell share a passion for design, art and classical architecture. They both love antiquing for hours, traveling and shopping at the Paris flea markets and restoring and renovating period homes. They have a harmonious business style with impeccable attention to detail and quite simply, they compliment each other.

Now, 13 years later, their stars have aligned once again when they chose Laidlaw Group to launch their newest venture Object Lust. Laidlaw created the Object Lust website as a destination for design savvy consumers to search “to the trade” items by category and browse designer furniture brands, unique fabrics and decorative objects from leading manufacturers. Once the customer finds what they’re looking for, they call or email Object Lust and request product & pricing information.

In addition to designing the website, Laidlaw Group has created social destinations where consumers can interact with the company on Twitter and Facebook and visit the Object Lust Blog to learn about the latest trends in color, design, architecture and interior design. It’s nothing but spectacular for the consumer who wants to immerse themselves in the world of interior design.

Laidlaw Group is launching the new brand, Object Lust, through Social Influence Marketing, a blog and new website. “I love the name and the concept,” says Cindy Laidlaw, Principal of Laidlaw Group, “It’s brilliant.”

Both are the idea of interior designer Susan Schaub. Through Object Lust, Susan is making it possible for consumers to purchase that special something they see in a home design magazine or at a design center. The best of the best home furnishings, accessories, antiques, art and furniture are just a click away.

“Object Lust is perfect for the customer who knows what they want, having seen it in a magazine or in a showroom, and they don’t want to hire a designer and sign a contract in order to get it,” says Susan. “Until now, the only way to purchase these items was through a designer – Object Lust is here to simplify the process.”

Laidlaw Group has substantial experience in the interior design space having launched the brands of many of the most highly respected firms in New England. We are currently designing the Object Lust website and building the components of their Social Influence Marketing program and blog.

With a client roster that demonstrates the strength of finding integrated marketing communications partners attuned to the nuances of design sensibility, Laidlaw Group proves again and again to be a perfect fit for interior designers and architects. The websites featured below showcase Laidlaw Group’s ability to translate the sophistication and elegance of an interior designer/architecture firm’s brand into memorable marketing materials.
