"LCW" chair (Lounge Chair Wood), Charles Eames, c. 1950–1955, Minneapolis Institute of Art: Decorative Arts, Textiles and Sculpture
Lounge Chair, molded birch plywood Charles and Ray Eames conducted numerous experiments in molded plywood techniques in the early 1940s, further refining the furniture designs Charles and Eero Saarinen designed for MoMA's "Organic Design in Home Furnishings" competition. Early chairs, and the splint shown in this gallery, were produced by the Molded Plywood Division of Evans Products Company, a Detroit firm. Charles Eames, who headed the subsidiary in Venice, California, pitched the partnership on the promise to find new ways to utilize Evans' ownership of numerous Douglas fir forests in the Pacific Northwest. By 1949, the Herman Miller Furniture Company of Zeeland, Michigan, which had been marketing and distributing the Eames's designs since 1946, took over production. The lounge chair, perhaps the most sculptural of all the Eames's plywood chair variations, is constructed of five elements molded and bent by heat and pressure. The ergonomic seat and back are set at an angle to follow the contours of the body, and are joined to the tapering supports by shock-mounts made of black rubber. These absorbers add another degree of flexibility to the natural spring of the chair. Size: 27 1/4 x 21 7/8 x 25 1/4 in. (69.22 x 55.56 x 64.14 cm) Medium: Molded plywood and rubber

the things that led me to that area of work (home economics and international development) were a combination, i think, of these things: 
my foundations courses in history at MSU were taken in african history, so i learned immediately about the university’s entanglements in nigeria (as they are the reason that msu has the best program in african history in the united states), but i cannot for the life of me remember where i originally discovered the work msu did in nigeria specifically in home economics. my research paper that first year was related to cash crop ag and labor in east africa, it’s possible that i encountered something then. years later, when i was taking african art history courses, i learned about a woman who collected textiles and art that formed the foundation of the university’s african art collection, and discovered that she was a home economics professor. her husband was a rural sociologist and extension professional who directed the program in nigeria for a time. their names are all over not only the african collections at the library and museum, but development programs that still stand at msu (we love development, especially in gender studies, unfortunately.) as i added a women’s studies minor later in my undergrad career, i saw resonances in these development programs from what i had learned about msu’s history in africa--and the same actors, a lot of times. my reservations about the creepiness of msu’s gender and development focus lead me to look into their history, and figure out the connections between institutional women’s studies and its twin antecedents in women’s education and international development. i never really elaborated this bit, and i can’t remember if any historians have written at length about it, but i think that a history of women’s studies programs at big land grant extension universities of the USAID era can tell us a different story about institutional feminism than the one we already know well about the politics of those programs in, say, california. (not that those weren’t also USAID programs, LOL.) 
my foundational understanding of the history of home economics was kind of unsurprising. some of the major figures adjacent to home ec movements are central in the teaching of u.s history--for example, i learned about catherine beecher in high school, then more in depth in a college us history survey, in passing in women’s studies introductory courses, and she was also part of high school history curricula i participated in teaching when i was doing field placements. it’s very hard not to know about domesticity politics if you study us history! (which is why a lot of my man peers embarrass themselves tbh) 
you recall my old interests in craft politics--they are there, still, i guess, but they look different. i don’t find a lot of that shit very compelling. that intersected with my interest in interiors--back then, kitchens in particular. i credit the year i spent in the victorian house with developing my interest in kitchens, lol! mary anne beecher’s work on extension kitchens changed the whole thing for me, many of you will remember. don’t even remember how i found it, probably cited somewhere. this conference paper is top five formative texts for me. you can easily see my interests coming together there: i was concurrently taking a class in modern architecture that heavily emphasized in interior design and a class on modernization theory (see #5). i was looking for a way to talk about the spatial politics of, basically, interiors. homes, houses. my work on home economics ended up being largely about consumer education and nutrition--the bread and butter of home ec, especially in development--do you remember me bitching nonstop about how i did NOT care that much about food history?--but thinking about interiors got to the heart of the scale, anyway. anybody who knows me knows that is still the thing that drives my thinking! i had not understood myself as an urban historian or a political historian (that would come very late tbh, and was an extreme revelation to me lolol), which are the two main things that i am, but scaling home economics from the kitchen to the nation to the globe taught me how to do both. because, as i see it, urban history is a discipline of spatial scaling, and political history is the history of scaling the [power or influence of] the state. studying the university instead of a government made me be less afraid to study the state. (also margot canaday, who invented the state!!) (queen of states) 
somewhere in here, taking a class on sixties universities and “development” while taking a class on basically herman miller, i discovered that msu’s interior design program, in the college of home ec--with close ties to modernist furniture producers in the state--had taken great society money to do research on domestic space in public housing. this fact, presented to me now, is practically mundane. but when i first discovered it--in the archives!--it intellectually FUCKED ME UP. (worth noting that i was disciplining my interest in dow--a lifelong obsession already--at the same time. this is when i fell into alden dow, who figured heavily into my architecture ed, because it was taught by an architecture historian who works closely with michigan modernist preservation and publishes on it. i discovered at that time--again, no surprise to me now--that the home economics department received hell of grant money from dow chemical.)
my paper on msu’s home economics work in nigeria started in a class taught by the professor behind msu’s vietnam project, which was the best (and best taught) class i took as an undergrad. i wasn’t even planning to take it! it made me a political historian and motivated me not to abandon the discipline of history (i was planning to!).

Making & Gathering: K Studio
When we first came across K Studio’s work, we were immediately charmed. It’s impossible not to be—hand-drawn shapes, animals, and faces, all a little askew, perfectly translated through embroidery onto linens. They’re sweet, evocative, and delightful.
It’s rare for home goods to elicit such joy, so we were curious to know more about the designer and the story behind our new favorite textile line. Founder and designer Shelly Klein, together with her mother Mary, runs the studio out of Grand Rapids. Shelley took some time to shed some light on K Studio for us.
How did you get started? What are your backgrounds?
I have a BFA in painting, and continue to create paintings and drawings as part of the creative process for K Studio. After graduating from college, I began taking on sewing projects to make extra money. Through my custom sewing work, I got connected with Herman Miller, which is headquartered just down the road from Grand Rapids, and began to work on custom showroom accessories and installations. It was through this work that I began experimenting with embroidery, and I really fell in love with it as a medium. I found that a stitched line fit in perfectly with the imagery and visual sensibility of the fine art I was making in my painting studio.
When I began to think about the possibilities of scale that could be achieved through creating embroidered works of art, it wasn’t long before I convinced my mother, Mary Klein, to join me and form K Studio. Mary spent most of her career in the contract furniture industry with a background in management and manufacturing. She provides the necessary business expertise to run K Studio efficiently allowing me to focus on design and marketing. It’s a perfect business partnership.
How do you embroider your designs on fabric?
Our product line consists mainly of textile items, all of which are designed and manufactured in our studio in Grand Rapids, MI. We run a commercial embroidery system similar to what would be used to embroider a company logo on a baseball hat or polo shirt. I create digital patterns for each product and we run them one at a time. It’s not new technology, but we are using it in a new way. It’s a medium that offers enormous flexibility and unlimited potential as a means to create artful items that reflect the care and craft of handwork, but can reach a much larger audience.
image What are your influences?
I’m influenced by art and artists, travel, fashion, graphic design… the usual stuff. Lately, I find myself drawn to images that evoke a reaction from my children. My husband and I have three-year-old twins whom I spend a lot of time with… I’m certain they have influenced my work in ways I don’t even realize.
Tell us a little about the materials you use.
The products that Heath has selected use our flax material. It is not certified organic but we certainly look at sustainability when seeking out suppliers for all of our products.
Flax is a natural product that does not require irrigation during growth, and needs little or no chemical treatment. All parts of the plant are used, so there is no waste. Linen fabric is 100% biodegradable and recyclable. The environmental impact of spinning and weaving flax is virtually zero. The natural flax uses no dyes and only non toxic dyes are used for textiles that are colored. -Donna

CreditSights, 2 Park Avenue, New York City
CreditSights 2 Park Avenue, New York City, NYC Office Interior Photos, US Financial Research Firm
CreditSights at 2 Park Avenue, New York City
Sep 27, 2021
Location: Manhattan, New York City, NY, USA
Design: Kostow Greenwood Architects
The overall design provides multiple break-out spaces for collaborative and individual work. An expansive, south facing café encourages casual interaction or becomes another individual workspace in natural sunlight:
Photos by Adrian Wilson
CreditSights, 2 Park Avenue, New York City News
CreditSights
Location 2 Park Avenue. New York City
Size 23,500 square feet
Architect / Interiors: Kostow Greenwood Architects
A glass wall with large sliding doors allows the Conference Lounge with sofas to become an extension of the Conference Wing with meeting table and chairs or create two distinctive areas for groups to meet:
Client Background
CreditSights is a leading independent financial research firm with a mission to provide value added input that helps their clients make prudent and profitable investment and risk management decisions consistent with their risk profiles. Founded by a group of analysts, the firm has grown from 8 original employees to over 130 employees around the world. CreditSights is purely a research firm and does not underwrite securities or manage assets.
The 3Form LightArt Echo Fixture is a notable design element with two important functions – providing light and acoustic rating similar to a suspended acoustical ceiling without reducing the ceiling height:
Design Opportunity for a new Workplace
CreditSights’ previous office occupied two separate floors. The planned relocation would allow the entire team to be on the same floor and in the same open office area.
• The new office at 2 Park Avenue, a building with a landmarked exterior, was a blank canvas presenting an opportunity, for the first time, for the firm to design an office environment suitable to the team’s work styles. • In consultation with Kostow Greenwood Architects, the desired workplace plan would have fewer perimeter offices, more open collaborative workspaces and several breakout rooms. • One location for the New York based team was also an opportunity to infuse subtle design elements in the design of the workspace to enhance the firm’s brand presentation.
The open plan office, sit-to-stand desks, promote easier collaboration between teams and healthier daily physical activity. Adjacent workrooms, with digital room schedulers, are an alternative enclosed workspace for one to four employees:
Design Challenges
Low beam heights and high windows presented issues in running mechanical systems, lighting and sprinklers without obstructing the abundant natural light.
The windows in this landmarked building reach very near the ceiling so a lighting/acoustic solution was needed that would not obstruct the natural light.
The building did not permit electrical and data core drills therefore the design attempts to use as much of the existing floor power trenches with minimal additional trenches.
Conceive of a workspace that will foster community while supporting individual work for a team that has never before shared one work location.
Reception connects the two wings: West – open plan office and East – conference rooms:
Design Solutions
Programming a single floor layout
• The single floor layout for the firm’s new location is a typical middle core of public restrooms and elevators so Kostow Greenwood programmed the space into separate wings.
o The West wing is the widest and accommodates the main open workspace; the north perimeter offices; break-out/workrooms and an internal office conference room.
o The Northeast wing accommodates the client conference center which is composed of 1 small, 2 medium and 1 large conference room which is adjacent to an open plan lounge that can expand the footprint of the large conference room or be another meeting space
o East wing: IT department open office; storage; dedicated conference room.
o South wing: Café & Lounge
Use the open ceiling to maintain the highest ceiling heights
• The space came with pre-built slab and beam gypsum enclosures. The contractor carefully opened up areas to run power and data to avoid exposed conduit. • Coordinate the ceiling plan to have the least obtrusive duct runs and sprinkler layout below the finished ceiling. • Selecting a 2-in-1 light/acoustic fixture prevents having to obstruct the windows and the natural light.
The east conference wing contains four conference rooms that can accommodate from 6 to 12 people around tables with additional side seating. A separate Flash Studio with acoustical separation, green screen backdrop, and recording equipment facilitates more varied vlogs for their clients’ needs:
Distinctive wall treatments
• Each break-out room features a decorative wall covering showcasing nature: o Designtex – Leafery o Knoll – Run in leaf o Numerart – Birch top trees
Distinctive lighting & acoustic solution
• The 3Form LightArt Echo fixture is a notable design element with two important functions – provide light and acoustic rating similar to a suspended acoustical ceiling without reducing the ceiling height. • Ceiling lights embedded in the suspended grid of the ceiling tiles reduces noise transmission and provide more accessibility to ceiling plenum. o JLC_Tech llc – T-BAR LED • Decorative fixtures in reception area and hallway introducing a play of color o 3Form LightArt – Slim Beams
The conference room adjacent to the café has white board paint walls to facilitate team brainstorming:
Distinctive selection of fabrics
• Workstations – Herman Miller: Renew Link Benching
• Conference room o Tables – Geiger, Finish: Chocolate Ash, matte sheen o Chairs – Vitra ID Trim Chair, Fabric: Plano 69 Light Gray o Side seating – Coalesse Together Bench, Maharam Brindle – Pharaoh
• Conference Lounge o Sofas – Bernhardt Mirador, Fabric: Maharam Taper – Sunset o Poufs – Source Seating Mello Grade C, Fabrics: Momentum Textiles Marathon Noir & Rain, Millenium: Amber o Table – Naughtone trace rectangle coffee table
• Café o Tables – Falcon 800 Series Table o Chairs – Herman Miller: Eames Molded Plastic: variety of colors Pale yellow, Red Orange, Aqua Sky, Peacock Blue o Bench – Coalesse Together Bench, Maharam Brindle – Watercolor
• Reception o Table – Naughtone trace rectangle coffee table o Chairs – Coalesse Viccarbe Columbi Chair with wenge wood armrest, fabric: leather color 116
Open Office with workrooms
• To balance the reduction of private offices, the layout focuses on providing easy access to small workrooms that can accommodate 2-5 people. o This allows the firm to have the open collaborative work environment between the research and sales departments, who had been on separate floors, while still providing the ability for private meetings and phone calls in the work rooms. o These spaces can also be used as private offices if someone needs to break away from the open office for a day or a guest office for visiting colleagues.
Incorporating Technology
• Broadcast Studio • Technology room schedulers at each work room and conference room allows the team to easily schedule a room from their desk or at the door.
Café & Lounge
• CreditSights wanted to provide plenty of seating area along the southern windows to entice employees to take breaks away from their desk for lunch and snacks along with providing an informal gathering area for the team. • Open metal upper shelving with live plants in front of a glass panel permits southern sunlight into the entire office while still providing a sound barrier between café and open office.
Additional Details
• Open collaborative workspace with height adjustable desks • Ergonomic chairs • Multiple sized workrooms which feature decorative wall and one writeable surface wall with acoustically sealed ceilings and walls for privacy • Broadcast Studio • Phone/Conversation booths • Wellness room with sink and mini-fridge • Additional staff restroom and single occupancy ADA accessible client restroom • Open café / lounge and pantry (fridge, dishwashers, sink, microwaves, ice dispenser, seltzer/water dispenser, coffee) • Conference / IT area drink station (fridge, dishwasher, sink, seltzer/water dispenser, coffee) • Multiple sized conference rooms & open conference lounge
The design for the café introduces natural wood and plants with industrial hardware shelves. A low-tiled wall topped with a glass divider separates the open plan office with the café. The glass divider permits light into the open office while providing a noise barrier:

Among the great designers at Herman Miller in the 1950s and 1960s, Alexander Girard enhanced Eames' and Nelson's furniture with innovative textiles. As head of Herman Miller's Textile Division since it was formed in 1952, he designed some of the most colorful and exciting fabrics available anywhere. He also designed the 25-piece Girard Group of modern furniture, and the 40-item series of Environmental Enrichment Panels for Action Office 2. Girard's unmatched folk art collection adorned Herman Miller buildings, filled their Textiles & Objects Shop in New York, and over 100,000 items made up the famous Girard Foundation. His acclaimed work as an interior designer and architect and his remarkable textiles for Herman Miller make Girard one of the legendary designers of the twentieth century. With over 400 mostly color photographs of his textile and wallpaper designs, all of the EE panels and furniture, plus detailed text, timeline, and an updated value guide, this book is a comprehensive view of Girard's work at Herman Miller, and a must for anyone interested in mid-century design of textiles, interiors, or graphics.

Small Squares (Furnishing Fabric), (silk, plain weave; screen printed), Designed by Alexander Girard, Produced by Herman Miller, Inc., Zeeland, MI, 1953 [The Art Institute of Chicago, IL]

Hi, my name is Anna and my favorite artists are Barbara Kruger and Jen Bartel. Right now I'm really interested in maximalism and filling my personal space with art, colors, and patterns that make me happy. What's your preferred interior design aesthetic?
Thanks for your message, That’s a really interesting question! I love interior design, I think the most important thing is natural light. I like white/light rooms filled with sunlight, plants, and beautiful floors. It makes such a huge difference. Our design aesthetic leans toward mid-century modern.  My wife works for a mid-century design company, herman miller, so we have a lot of beautiful pieces that we’ve collected. 
We have a lot of different styles that we like to switch out and add to our spaces. We’ve got bright colorful Mexican wooden animal carvings, and textiles, Minimal grapic Matise inspired pieces. A lot of Alexander Girard posters. I love pieces with texture, like woven cotton blankets, velvet pillows, unique baskets, ceramic pieces we love, and my wife makes macrame, and tapestries so we have a few of those out. But everything in moderation, and not all at once, otherwise it becomes lost and isn’t as special in the space, but not so minimal that it is cold. Actually my personal blog @nikkilanecreates has a lot of photos of interiors I love.

Which new trends are likely to be seen in Home Décor Market ?
Home décor is a way that a house or apartment is decorated with various furnishings and accessories that make it look more appealing. Home décor has recently gained importance in the global market where the generalists are learning various ways in which they can keep their home looking brilliant and peaceful. The western countries have long ago started the trend of home décor with shaping and designing their home in a fashionable way that will allure the residents and other visitors. It also talks about the taste of the people and the aura in which they believe to stay.
Home décor has been a popular consumer interest market for a decade now.
