A new light on Formica
Article Abstract:
The Formica Corp has sponsored an exhibition called 'Found Futures' that features projects by eight Chicago-based architects who were asked to transform used objects into products or installations using Formica material. The exhibition opens in Mar 1993 at the WestWeek in Los Angeles, CA. The objects on display range from a sports coat covered with laminate sample chips to a almp and shade made from a slide projector, an antique camera tripod, key rings and Formica laminates.
