Behind the scenes in Hollywood

Article Abstract:

The increasing obsolescence of facilities due to digital technology and the stiffer competition for talent and prestige have raised the demand for new and improved buildings and interiors in the entertainment industry. Major studios have recently embarked on the upgrading or rebuilding of their facilities, with atmospheres that range from exuberant to elegant. Such trend has opened numerous opportunities for designers, but must address entertainment clients' concerns, including cost and a total focus on every aspect of a project.

Artisan Entertainment

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.

Dailey & Associates Advertising

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.
