ROHL ANNOUNCES 2018 MEMBERS OF AUTH LUX DESIGNER GUILD

January 06, 2018

ROHL, one of the most recognized authentic luxury brands in the kitchen and bath industry, is proud to announce the 2018 class of the ROHL Auth Lux Designer Guild - Lisa Mende, Amy Vermillion, Mally Skok, and Jonathan Rachman. Now in its second year, the ROHL Auth Lux Designer Guild reinforces the value and appreciation ROHL has for the expertise of designers and trade professionals. This year’s class joins inaugural members Marcia Tucker, Julia Buckingham, and Design Denise McGaha as part of the guild.

One of the primary responsibilities of each guild member is to serve as a co-host, along with ROHL VP of Marketing Greg Rohl, for one of four Auth Lux Summits being held in 2018. Each summit is a day-long event exploring What Makes Authentic Luxury.

“We are thrilled to have Lisa, Amy, Mally, and Jonathan as members of the ROHL Auth Lux Designer Guild,” said Rohl, “Each of them has a unique design aesthetic, but at their core they all stand for similar design beliefs that we share at ROHL including authenticity, truth in materials, a commitment to craft and a passion for design. Everything that we convey through our collections."

As one of the Bay Area's most celebrated interior designers, Jonathan Rachman brings an international story to all of his work.  Born in Sumatra, Jonathan developed an appreciation of Indonesia’s natural beauty and attention to detail in the craftsmanship of their furniture, textiles, and sculpture. An education in Switzerland afforded him the luxury of traveling across Europe to some of the best antiques markets in the world. Living in Paris, he frequented its famed flea market and developed a keen eye for collections, something for which he’s now well regarded. Rachman is also known for the buying trips he takes with clients around the world. His knowledge of other countries, their markets, and their languages gives him confidence to lead clients to the best each place has to offer.  He opened his first antiques and floral design shop in the heart of San Francisco. It became a favorite of design enthusiasts and the media alike, and Rachman began giving patrons advice on interior design. That led him to start his own design firm.

As the principal of Lisa Mende Design in for over two decades, Lisa is known for her luxury interiors which are modern enough to be livable, yet traditional enough to have a sense of performance.  Vintage pieces and antiques mixed with modern classics and original art are hallmarks of her design aesthetic. Lisa harkens back to her southern roots to create custom interiors centered around family life, tradition, and heritage.  Her portfolio includes a vast range of projects that include everything from historic preservation to new construction as well as commercial design. Her work can be found in the country's most recognized national shelter magazines as well as showhouses from east to west coast. As a sought-after speaker, tastemaker and trend forecaster, Lisa often is asked to serve as a brand ambassador for luxury product lines, companies and events across the country and internationally. Travel to global markets allows her a worldly perspective which she employs in her projects thru cutting-edge technology and furnishings. Lisa is a member of NKBA as well as an Allied Member of ASID.

An expert with color, texture and scale, she not only chooses exquisite fabrics and furnishings but has the innate ability to edit her client's existing interiors in a thoughtful manner. Amy is highly sought after because of her unique approach to home renovation which focuses on architectural finishes, customized details and thoughtful space planning.

She is an Allied Member of the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) and has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Interior Design from Illinois State University.
