The client\u2019s original aspiration was the reclaimed oak paneling in the Kieran Timberlake\u2013designed Sidwell Friends school in Washington, D.C., but the ceiling the Blackwells gave them is made of AC plywood\u2014\u201cthe cheapest wood you could find anywhere,\u201d in Marlon\u2019s words\u2014and is no less functional or beautiful.<br><br>The Blackwells remind us that materials should never be a constraint for creative vision. Instead they should become conduits for expression and real impact. Every architect and interior designer knows the pain of navigating the matrix of cost, aesthetics, performance characteristics, durability, and sustainability to arrive at the final product selections for a project, and sometimes the way of avoiding that pain is to pick what you know has worked in the past.&nbsp;<br><br>But if you shift your mindset, then the matrix of considerations needn\u2019t limit your options.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column article-header_content is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\" style=\"object-fit:cover;object-position:50% 50%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"857\" height=\"1024\" src=https://metropolismag.com/"https:////metropolismag.com//wp-content//uploads//2025//09//ME25_Product_ARC_Cover-857x1024-r.png/" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-118771\" srcset=\"https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ME25_Product_ARC_Cover-857x1024-r.png 857w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ME25_Product_ARC_Cover-857x1024-r-251x300.png 251w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ME25_Product_ARC_Cover-857x1024-r-768x918.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 857px) 100vw, 857px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Marlon and Meryati Johari Blackwell, founders of Marlon Blackwell Architects, in their Fayetteville, Arkansas, studio.

Most studies show that furniture has the biggest carbon impact in an office renovation, but it has also never been more exciting to make low-carbon choices in furniture! If you work with e-commerce platform <a href=https://metropolismag.com/"https:////metropolismag.com//profiles//can-rarify-revolutionize-the-design-industry///">Rarify<\/a>, you can have design icons in your project while lowering costs and carbon emissions.
