Divine Providence - Interior Design Magazine, by Meaghan O'Neill.
Providence's small scale (population 176,000) has fostered a cohesive community. Furniture designer Daniel Michalik, who specializes in cork, takes advantage of the local boatbuilding industry for fabrication. "We all trade skills," he says. "I designed a friend's studio. He built my Web site." Likewise, a referral network has cropped up. "In the past week, the Steel Yard's received seven or so inquiries, seeing if we had people here who could help build some tables, a sign for a new building, and a decorative fireplace screen," says Rockefeller, who also cofounded the Monohassett Mill Project, a live-work space adjacent to the Steel Yard.
