Kevin Scott and Tomas Alvarez are designers from Chicago, IL. They both studied at Harrington College of Design where they recently received their B.F.A.s in Interior Design. Prior to studying interior design, Tomas studied sculpture at the Art Institute of Chicago and Kevin received a B.S. from Northern Illinois University in Sociology and Political Science.
Over the last three years they have designed everything from green rooms to highway rest stop urinals. Their last project DIFFA Dining by Design with the Harrington team was a huge success.
Furniture design is a really a passion for the two designers. Tomas has focused on designing functional pieces by way of repurposing, while Kevin has focused on complex furniture concepts. Their collaborations combine Tomas' clean aesthetic and structural understanding with Kevin's unusual concepts and flair for the dramatic.
