Fr e os t auu nr adn t dFe rs i eg nn c h R e s t a u r a n t The concept of this design was inspired by the abandoned theater scene in August Rush when the main character reveals that his deepest desire is to be found. Centered on the neglected nature of the film’s theater and the concept of ‘found,’ the restaurant’s design includes discarded windows acting as partitions between dining booths. Similarly, the aged look of the flooring and unique light fixtures also suggest a feeling of neglect. As an unexpected addition to the otherwise abandoned-looking finishes, the furniture selected from Christopher Guy is inspired by the protagonist’s ability to create musical masterpieces in such a broken place.

E rd e m S to re retail design
The feminine and sophisticated silhouettes and textiles known to the Erdem brand inspired the design of its new Midtown East store. Through several of their past collections, large floral prints harmonized the textiles. This common thread translated into carpet and furniture selection throughout the space. Highlighting the collection’s pieces also became an important factor in the space’s layout, as evidenced by the custom clothing display racks that literally frame collections, groupings, and individual pieces. The concept of framed displays also allowed for a feature wall that highlights Erdem patterns and textiles, which can easily adjust with each season.

The Gap, Inc Office office design
The Gap, Inc. is recognized for its classic and timeless approach to clothing. Thus, this clear style is carried through into the material and furniture selection of this executive office. Like their classic blue jeans and white button-up shirts, the light-stained walnut wood of the desk, table and ceiling, along with the muted, monochromatic color scheme are a masculine, but authentic approach to the Gap, Inc. brand. The selected furniture from HBF and the linear nature of the Interface carpet suggest straight lines across the space, an element that is mirrored by the geometric nature of Gap, Inc’s logo. The Eames Molded Plywood Dining Chairs as side chairs tie together the concepts of the space with their recognizable form and classic material.

Transitional Kitchen kitchen design
Seurat’s famous 19th century Impressionist painting was the piece chosen to best reflect the historicity of this federal style row house. Accordingly, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte is featured as the inspiration behind the kitchen’s design, taking both a central place as an art piece in the dining room and influencing the selection of finishes, furniture, and colors through the depth and story depicted in the painting. The light fixtures of the space reiterate the shape of the painting’s umbrellas. The reflections on the water are echoed in the glazed upper cabinets and the transparent acrylic chairs. The pointillism found in both this painting and other Impressionist works is replicated in the design of the mosaic backsplash. In addition, the inclusion of history was an important goal throughout the project, influencing the selection of the reclaimed wood table and the penny-tiled kitchen floor, since both choices signify age and history.

Luxury Condo Residential Design
For their Chicago apartment, this project’s clients requested a mid-century modern design style and future wheelchair accessibility to accommodate expected effects of a debilitating condition. An open floorplan makes travel around the space easy and complements the modern design. Therefore, the design allocated sufficient space for clearances, doorways, and turning radii. The recessed rug, kitchen counter overhang, and cabinetry on lifts continue to ensure that even the details are suitable for accessible living without compromising appearance both now and in the future.

M u l t i - u s e S e at furniture design
Within the luxury condominium design project, the clients requested a custom furniture piece that fit with the mid-century modern style. Keeping in mind that the client was diagnosed with a severe condition and future wheelchair placement, the piece was made simple, versatile, and mobile. This seat was designed for the main living room of the condo where it can function as both a seat, when placed across from the other seating, and function as a coffee table, when placed in front of either sofa with either the detachable cushion stored or the box flipped to provide a flat surface on top and cushion storage below. This versatility is compatible with the client’s needs and accounts for their mobility constraints by keeping the space open.

Hemp Pendant light fixture design
Designed as an accent piece for a dining area with several large windows, the goal of this light fixture design was to complement the natural light coming in. Light passes easily through the wrapped hemp string and creates shadows on the wall. The combination of the unique material and unexpected shape make this fixture a focal point of any space.

The Herman Miller Action Office systems furniture was selected out of UNI surplus furniture, meaning limited pieces were available for reconfiguration into the space. In addition, two new files would be purchased and would need to be placed, along with an existing mini fridge and microwave.
