Article Abstract:
The Spectrum exhibition of office furniture was held at the galleries of the Royal College of Art, London, England between Mar 21, 1993 and March 24, 1993. It is described as fresh in the sense that it was distinctive and not boring. It was successful because the show was small, the context was good and intelligent designs were used. One criticism made of the exhibits is that they were too self-conscious and had too many curves.
