Article Abstract:
An industrial building with a 30,000-sq.-ft. floor at 200 Varick, New York, NY, houses the new showroom of DesignTex, a textile and wallcovering company. Architect Lee Stout transformed the former printing press floor into a cost-effective textile showroom.

A conference room and a computerized custom-sampling room were also added for customer convenience.

Article Abstract:
Designer Brian Kane created a flexible environment to serve as backdrops for the touring designs of customer manufacturer Tuohy. Kane's primary consideration was in designing components which could be reconfigured at every site to suit the type of display and the space available. He addressed the problem by sliding door frames to hold up translucent panels made of Synskin, bamboo and Sintra.
