On DESIGNING BLIND, A&E Network's new home-makeover-series-with-a-twist, couples relinquish control to acclaimed designer Eric Brun-Sanglard, known for his breathtaking renovations of prime properties in Los Angeles. Added to the precarious but always entertaining process of seeing a space transformed amidst the owners' reactions to each other's strong and sometimes opposing tastes is one additional condition that the homeowners must accept. Eric B. is blind. Just when it seems that things couldn't get any more challenging, Alex, Eric's hilarious co-host reveals the news that the couple must assist Eric in his re-design, blind-folded! They will not have use of their own visual sense, which was the safety net they were counting on.
As the process unfolds, it becomes apparent that Eric "sees" in completely different ways. In the course of the makeovers he confronts the others issues of fear, trust and control while they learn to draw on the power of their other senses to transform their homes and even their lives. Even the most skeptical onlookers are awestruck by the makeovers that Eric B. is capable of designing and then executing. They describe how a once cold and dull home became tactile and alive with feeling and yes, color! "Not having sight allows me to tap into the energy-flow of the surroundings, to identify blockages that flow and prevent a house from achieving its fullest potential," he says.
In DESIGNING BLIND, Eric and co-host Hedison will be introduced to homes and their inhabitants, getting involved in the surprisingly intimate process of renovation and remodeling. They will challenge the couple to shop based solely on a sense of touch, sound and smell. It's an unusual, amusing, and revelatory journey, where one man's devastating loss leads to evidence of joyous and unexpected transformation.
