Article Abstract:
The Giorgio Armani spirit, characterized by comfort, elegance and timelessness, provided the inspiration for the design of Artisan Entertainment's new 40,000-sq ft offices in Santa Monica, CA. The fashion designer's clean, classic lines are thus replicated in the uniform-sized glass-walled offices, alternating with conference rooms that offer shared space for meetings. The classic look is reinforced by furniture and furnishings, such as blond wood executive desks, marble-topped tables and black-and-white photographs.

Article Abstract:
West Hollywood, CA-based Dailey & Assoc Advertising has chosen Christine Chatterton & Assoc to design a new office at the Pacific Design Center that it has moved into. CEO Cliff Einstein was convinced that Christine Chatterton was the architect for the job when she proposed an eclectic combination of existing spaces and decor in the design. Although it retained a studio character, the newly designed office has managed to exhibit sophistication that was neither refined nor rough.
