Inside is a sleek setting of moon-white walls and ceiling anchored by a plinth-populated terrain of terra-cotta tiles. 5. Peter Marino Melds Understated and Chromatic at Maison Louis Vuitton New Bond Street

Remember the movie version of E.M. Forster’s “A Room with a View” with its honeyed images of Florence, Italy?

Gensler Reinforces Knoll’s Design Philosophy at New Chicago Flagship

The buzz around Chicago’s Fulton-Randolph Market District caught the attention of executives at Knoll, who, earlier this year, decided to move the furniture company’s local showroom from its longtime home in the Merchandise Mart to an expansive 24,000-square-foot space in Fulton Market. The neighborhood’s raw yet refined character is what inspired Gensler’s concept for Knoll’s new flagship. Firms Join Forces to Give Organic Form to a Family Villa in Melbourne.

Almost inevitably, calling a building sculptural arouses the suspicion that function played second fiddle to the architect’s shape-shifting vision.
