Farallon

Article Abstract:

Pat Kuleto Restaurants designed the interior of Farallon, a trendy seafood restaurant in San Francisco, CA, with an aim of making it appeal to that part of the customers that was once a fish. Named after a group of islands, Farallon was once a narrow room that was divided into several places by huge columns. Using an underwater decor to complement the claustrophobic interior, the restaurant is now decorated with glass jellyfish, a sea urchin, mosaic fish across tiled floors, and backlit patterned windows.

Chancery of Finland

Article Abstract:

The Finnish embassy in Washington, D.C. presents a modernist contrast to the staid mansions along Embassy Row. The building was designed by architects Markku Komonen and Mikko Heikkinen in keeping with the modern styles promoted by other Finns such as Alvar Aalto and Elial Saarinen. The facade is formed from a copper and bronze grid that screens off the granite forecourt. The interiors are well lighted by large windows from the roof.

A chair for the ages

Article Abstract:

The Eames chair retains a timeless appeal since its inception in the 1940s. The chair was designed by Charles Eames using shaped plywood and was a winner at the Museum of Modern Art's Organic Design Competition. Eames perfected the process for shaping the wood and added a rubber disc suspension that enhances the chair's ergonomic design. The chair was made available at affordable prices and is very durable.
