Hospitality Design - July 2013 - 97

David Oswald

senior director of design, luxury
and lifestyle, Hilton Worldwide,
Denver
My mother was artistic,
a great writer, and had a
natural sense of style, but
the Depression diverted her
quest to become a journalist
to a more practical way of
earning a living—first as an
assistant clothing buyer for
the Edw. Malley Co., New
Haven, Connecticut’s premier
department store, and then as
a teller at New Haven Savings
Bank. It was there she met
my father and successfully

chose to raise a family.
But while her creative
aspirations were curtailed,
they never ceased. She
always managed to find
the perfect balance of
insight, encouragement, and
eagerness to support—but
never direct—the lives of her
children.
I always wanted to build
things—erector sets and
Lincoln Log kits never had
enough pieces. My mother’s
intuition prompted her to
give me the drafting board
and T-square she had used
in high school, just at the age

(five or six) when I was ready
to graduate from my Crayola
64s. With the T-square, I
began to draw plans of our
modest home and what I
would do to embellish it. I
was finally able to make my
lines straight, accurate, and
precise!
Another of our mutual
passions was the energy of
the ‘big city,’ whether that
meant New Haven or a trip
to New York. At nearby
Yale, I was introduced to the
work of Paul Rudolph, and
I was captivated by Eero
Saarinen. My parents took

us on a Sunday drive just to
see his JFK terminal. I was
so excited about seeing it and
the world’s gateway, I couldn’t
sit still.
My mother viewed
education as paramount,
believed in travel as a vehicle
for learning and pursuing
one’s dreams—all as a basis
for improving one’s quality
of life. She had poise, was
intuitive, and had a distinct
sense of personal style and
grace. In so many ways, I’m
extremely fortunate to be
her son.
