Maya Romanoff - Bedazzled Leaf
It was a dilemma, albeit a fortunate one, when sales at Maya Romanoff doubled in just two years. Already bursting at the seams in an 18,500-square-foot former laundromat in Chicago, how would the wall covering manufacturer meet demand? Heading to nearby Skokie, the company asked Interwork Architects, Thomas Interior Systems, and Maya Romanoff's own design team to turn a 40,000-square-foot label printing plant into a state-of-the-art wall covering facility. Taking advantage of 15-foot-high ceilings, they settled on a loft concept, carving skylights where natural light was lacking. By fortune and design, expanses of wall beneath begged for brazen product placements. This was, after all, the company's headquarters.
Which brings us back to manufacturing. Festoon racks have more room to breathe in the expanded factory while drying hand-painted sheets of orange Burelage vinyl and Ajiro wood veneer. There's also space for an army of hand-dyed rolls of Weathered Walls—waiting to be coated and dried—and for larger painting tables. Select samples become pages in a full-scale catalog that opens in front of president Joyce Romanoff's office, its oversized sliding barn door covered with glass-beaded Relief Marquetry in Iced Onyx. Translucent Beadazzled panels dominate the multi-purpose room, and every cubicle sports Beadazzled Lite. In spaces best devoid of decoration, such as the product development room or inspection area, the settings turn more neutral. To bead or not to bead—an even happier quandary. 773-465-6909; mayaromanoff.com. circle 481

Hùn Design - Romantisch
Henry David Thoreau might have said that “we meet at meals three times a day, and give each other a new taste of that old musty cheese that we are.” But tell that to Rósa Björk, Katharina Moebus, and Julia Maltry, the young design trio behind Hùn Design. With the Forrestisch and Romantisch tables, these students at Italy's Libera Universitá di Bolzano decided to elevate the dining experience into a more ruminant realm. Made of wax and doubling as a giant candle, Romantisch can be seen either as the perfect spot for a romantic candle-lit dinner, or a poignant homage to the passage of time as your table melts with every meal. Forrestisch taps into one's inner Rousseau, as it's designed to reconnect diners with the source of all food—nature. In this piece, the designers shun the rules and rituals that govern classic dining. Plate and cutlery are ghosted into the tablecloth backdrop, which is printed to emulate a lush forest floor. To eat, the diner literally must hunt for his plate and dinnerware within this forest primeval, just as our prehistoric ancestors did. hun-design.org.circle 537
