Bent out of shape

Article Abstract:

Mid-century modern furniture are increasingly becoming popular with museums and collectors as these have become classic pieces that have acquired the patina of age. Once thought to be ahead of mass appeal and current technology, their authentic copies, prototypes and early examples have become sought after. The market for these classics of modern furniture is driven by the short supply of pieces coupled with steadily increasing demand among specialized dealers and major auction houses. Among furniture designers whose mid-century modern pieces are in great demand are Charles Eames, Greta Grossman and Luther Conover.

Nissan executive offices

Article Abstract:

HOK/Los Angeles designed the office of Nissan USA in Carson, CA. The design agency wanted a look that effectively combines East and West since Nissan Corp is a Japanese company operating in the west. The office is accentuated by an attractive spiral staircase that links the eighth and ninth floors. Advanced technology is also evident in the offices which are equipped with data management technologies and mobile interfaces within and beyond the office.
