Today was my first day at A. Hoke Limited, a To The Trade showroom for interior designers. After a quick tour around the facility, I helped Kensi put some new accessories out on the floor. We had four pairs of pillows, two pairs of ottomans, and three side tables to find places for. Once we did that, I labeled some of the new textile collection books, making sure every book in the room had a label.
When I was done with that, I helped another intern sort indoor-outdoor textiles by color for the new section of the showroom. She had been working on it for a while, so I just helped with the neutral colors. White, beige, brown, grey-beige, grey, black; after a while, they all start to look the same, so we had a tough time. A previous intern had been retrieving the indoor-outdoor textiles from all the other sections of the showroom, which are sorted by brand, but someone had found some still in one of the sections, so I had to go searching for any textiles made from 100% Acrylic or 100% Polyethylene.
For the last few minutes, I started helping to find textiles that had been discontinued, so we could take them off the floor so no one would try to buy them.
