I have been design director of a company in LA for
some time that designs and manufacturers some of the
more interesting office furniture in the US.
Clients are architecture and advertising firms who
want something more unique to their corporate
personality and functional requirements than A+D
furniture companies such as Herman Miller or Knoll can
offer.
We do around 250 projects a year from 50 to 1,000
workstations and environments. Recent clients have
included Gensler, Microsoft, Ogilvy and Mather, McCann
Erickson, VW Audi Design, Museum of Modern Art,
Kenneth Cole. We are looking for some creative
designers with furniture experience with US work
permits for our LA studio.
