Monday morning? Indeed! Allsteel’s casual-cool Vicinity
lounge chair, envisioned for office cafés, brings chillaxing to the workweek. You can comfortably slouch or sit upright on the low-slung seat, masterminded by Mitch Bakker of Michigan’s Ida Design. Sitting on a crisscrossing tubular-steel base (offered in seven finishes), the plywood shell can be veneered or partially or fully upholstered. Round out the vignette with coordinating tables, stools, or stacking chairs. space 1120
lounge lizards Boundary-free offices require seating that can handle myriad needs. Toan Nguyen reconciles that dichotomy with his Dual lounge chair for Teknion’s Studio TK. Molded in urethane foam, over steel, the organic profile and gently pitched back encourage relaxation while enabling effortless interaction. The duality idea extends to covers, as the shell and seat can sport contrasting shades of fabric. space 1044

start the day right Get your daily dose of inspiration by attending the keynote presentations, hosted by three luminaries. Kicking off the series today is Arianna Huffington, who founded internet media phenomenon Huffington Post and, more recently, the well-being and productivity platform Thrive Global. Cited by Time magazine as one of the world’s 100 most influential people, the Center for Public Integrity board member has appeared on the Forbes Most Powerful Women list and authored 15 books, including the best-selling The Sleep Revolution: Transforming Your Life, One Night At a Time. How can we create sustainable cities and healthier buildings by studying microbes? This and other questions will be addressed by Tuesday’s special guest: TED senior fellow Jessica Green, a renowned scientist at the frontier of bio-inspired design. As founding director of the Biology and the Built Envi ronment Center and cofounder/CTO of Phylagen, a DNA data harvesting and analytics company, Green investigates how the microbial blueprint of our bodies, homes, cities, and forests impacts our world. She works closely with architects and engineers to advance an understanding of how microbial communities assemble, interact, evolve, and influence public health. Speaking on Wednesday is Chicago-based architect and professor John Ronan, founding principal of John Ronan Architects, which was an Obama Presidential Center finalist. The winner of numerous awards and competitions, Ronan was included in the Architectural League of New York’s Emerging Voices program. Exploring materiality and atmosphere, Ronan’s work has been exhibited internationally, including at the Art Institute of Chicago.
Keynotes will be held at the NeoCon Theater at Motorola on the Mart’s 19th Floor. Admission is free for registered attendees.

in the fold Many great designs begin on paper. This one began with paper. “It’s born from the idea of creating a chair as if it were a folded sheet of it,” Interior Design Hall of Famer Patricia Urquiola says of the inspiration for Nuez, her new seating range at Andreu World. The upshot is obvious, as the injected thermoplastic shell gently bends to cradle the plush upholstery, available in an assortment of fabrics or leathers. Base options are: aluminum four-star, five-star with casters, steel sled, or oak legs. Space 10-132
flex plan As creative director of the Luum Textiles brand at Teknion, Suzanne Tick flaunts flexibility with Focus In, a multipurpose family tailored for the workplace, which calls for products with “an agility that supports various activities,” she explains. Six com plementary patterns include Knurl, a mini-print arising from the exaggerated texture of polyester, nylon, cotton, and acrylic; Outpress, featuring curvilinear lines that join and split across the polyestercotton ground; Navigate, a woolnylon blend inspired by grids; and Amalgam, constructed from a multicolored polyester typically used in footwear.

As paperless offices proliferate, the size and scale of storage evolves. Estudio Enblanc partners Paula Aloy Fortea and Jose Aranda Almiñana keep pace with shifting stash through Hold Daily, a mobile auxiliary furniture series for Systemtronic. Sheet steel finished in textured white polyester forms the cabinet’s rectangular frame, available with a shelf and locking door, or simply an open shelf. With robust 3-inch-diameter casters, it stands 14 by 19 by 36 inches. The optional storage box, 9 inches square and 19 high, comes in five colors. Through Magnusson Group. Space 1170

fantoni group SPACE 7-10034 The seed for Hub sprouted from Bruno Munari’s Abitacolo “combination” bed, a multitasking 1971 design that mapped out spaces for the different activities in a teenager’s day: rest, play, study. Matteo Ragni adultifies that concept with what he calls a “four-poster table— a mini-loft where one can work, rest, and feed on ideas and good food.” The modular milieu measures 63 inches square and comes with optional casters and privacy flaps plus an overhead canopy incorporating LED strips. The electrical supply channels through the hollow metal frame (powder-coated in matte white epoxy) to operate the lighting. A central panel in the particleboard or faced MDF tabletop can be removed to provide data and power access—or to accommodate a potted plant or tree.
IIDA AWARDS S H O W D A I LY 2 0 17
IIDA awards gensler Hyundai Capital Services and Hyundai Card Co., Seoul, South Korea When your company is huge, your conference center needs to make a big
statement. So double that impact for a facility shared by two huge companies, Hyundai Capital Services and Hyundai Card Co. in Seoul, South Korea. But when Gensler principal Philippe Paré initially saw the double-height, 6,250square-foot space, it had the feel of a tired high-school auditorium, a vibe not precisely befitting the futuristic Hyundai aesthetic. After Paré’s remodel, the inspired result is part theater, part light-and-space installation in the James Turrell or Robert Irwin vein. Enveloping the oblong volume, pristine white acoustical plaster recalls the seamless backgrounds used in photo shoots. Apertures in the plaster not only accommodate HVAC needs but also house recessed LEDs that conjure the effect of glowing arches. Darker touches act as a counterpoint. Charcoal-gray needlepunched carpet demarcates the audience zone, while sound-dampening gray felt sheathes the rear wall. The stage is so minimalist as to seem almost an abstraction. In lieu of a traditional platform, glossy white epoxy floor paint simply replaces the carpet. Close to the stage, chairs form rows for company-wide meetings. Behind the chairs, benches roll out from their hiding place, a tall blackened-steel structure that runs almost the entire width of the back wall. Also housing audiovisual equipment and a pantry and supporting a state-of-the-art seminar venue on top, this impressive multitasker is nicknamed the Machine. —Edie Cohen MIRKO WANDERS; JOANNE CHAN; TINA ROTHERMUND; AMY POKAWATANA; MARISSA TANGATUE; SHAWN SHIN; JULIA PARK; FERNANDO FLORES; SHUN NAGASAKA: PROJECT TEAM.

S H O W D A I LY 2 0 17
magazine last year? Giorgio Borruso Design’s prefabricated, flexible, mobile unit presented a seamless melding of physical and virtual retail, thanks to technology developed by the company WithMe. The next phase in the concept’s evolution is MARS, as in Micro-Automated Retail Store. Like its predecessor, MARS is customizable and modular. It can be as small as 100 square feet, with rectangular volumes added in 10-square-foot-long increments. Forming the walls and ceiling, vertical fins of painted marine-grade plywood alternate with clear acrylic panels. “The fins are straight on the inside, to support shelving, and contoured on the outside,” Giorgio Borruso explains. Technology enabling touch-screen browsing is embedded in mirrored wall panels. Wiring runs underneath the flooring, which is birch plywood. So are the benches and display fixtures.

giorgio borruso design Borruso has collaborated with the real-estate investment trust Macerich on the rollout. This 300-square-foot version appeared at a Los Angeles shopping mall, Santa Monica Place. There are six more elsewhere in the city in addition to units in Chicago, Washington, New York, and Portland, Oregon. Their smaller size, compared to the ShopWithMe pop-up, is designed with the common areas of shopping malls specifically in mind. In other words, these MARS landings are meant to activate spaces that are high-traffic but underused. —Edie Cohen

Having already blazed a path across Europe, winning accolades in the process, Trinetic is now ready for its U.S. debut. The design’s standout is its ergonomic profile, with three independent pivot points and a flexible seat and backrest combining to form a task chair that intuitively “follows” rather than resists the user—no manual intervention required. The result? Better comfort and better support.

“The project resulted from a mix of commitment and a passion for creating” Music, sports, and technology are not realms usually associated with design talent.
But Bernhardt Design president Jerry Helling leaves no discipline unturned. To launch his Creative Project, he enlisted a trio of diversely talented friends. Tift Merritt, for starters, is a Grammy Award–nominated singer-songwriter who likes to handcraft guitar straps from fabric and trims she’s accumulated on tour. For her namesake series for Bernhardt Textiles, she edited that vast collection down to six patterns. They include Reverb, a wavy stripe in a rayon-polyester, and Verse, woven from multiple fibers on recycled nylon to recall vintage ribbons. Former professional football player Terry Crews, a prolific illustrator and Egypt-ophile, contributed the Ibis sofa, Lily Pad chair, and Aire bench. Finally, Airbnb co-founder Joe Gebbia, who studied at the Rhode Island School of Design, revisited his roots with Neighborhood, a 38-module range including seating and tables configured like building blocks.

“We thoughtfully updated the chair based on the latest research around the science of sitting”

Launched 23 years ago, the Aeron task chair is a true design classic—but that doesn’t mean Don Chadwick, co-designer with Bill Stumpf, couldn’t think up some improvements. A full two years of research went into the relaunch, with a slimmer tilt mechanism that offers smoother operation. The chair’s signature Pellicle elastomeric suspension now covers eight latitudinal zones across the seat and back, enhancing ergonomics. For better spinal support, the PostureFit SLTM system includes sacral and lumbar adjustments. Three proportionate sizes meet the needs of all body types while still allowing for standardized dimensions: 41 inches high, 27 wide, and 17 deep. And three colorways— graphite, carbon, and mineral— ensure this updated classic will always look timeless.

United in the belief that physical movement is essential for communication and concentration, Eoos partners Martin Bergmann, Gernot Bohmann, and Harald Gründl conceived Luno, an oversize lounge chair that allows for multiple functions and postures. “We lean back when relaxed; we lean in to show interest,” Bohmann explains. The interior and exterior shells—of soft and rigidfoam, respectively— are fitted together in a unique assembly process. The four-star base comes either in aluminum, polished or powder-coated gray, or in ash hardwood, with 10 finish choices.

Illuminated by an LED lamp, the unit is fully wired and equipped with file folders on the inside. On the outside, surfaces combine lacquer and wood veneer. When closed, the footprint is just 28 by 39 inches. Pair HO Cube with Tap, a wool-upholstered stool with a leather handle. The pair are debuting at the Trade Commission of Spain in New York pavilion.

As cookie-cutter cubicles surrender to open plans, a paradox arises. How do you make environments at once seamless and distinct? Suzanne Tick answers the question with the Transcend series of architectural glass. Fabricated using proprietary technologies, the six patterns are etched or digitally printed with geometries or textures that fade into each other, allowing the eye to transition as the body moves. Shift Grid’s seemingly random lines, for example, dissolve into the irregular stripes of Lineal Fade. The effect so captivated company executives that they made Transcend panels the focal point of a Mart showroom makeover by Range Design & Architecture.

Digital shortcuts flourish, and virtual reality reigns. But a touch of craft can enhance technology. Kelly Stewart learned that firsthand in developing Subtractive Layers vinyl flooring. After attempting to create textures digitally, she switched strategies and began a series of paintings. Then she gradually scraped the paint from the canvas with small combs to produce grooved surfaces. Only at that point did computers enter the picture, as scans of the originals were manipulated and layered into final patterns. Available in 20 colors, the 12-by-24-inch tiles boast a 20-millimeter wear layer, making them appropriate for heavy-duty commercial applications.

Hearty Italian-American cuisine is the wheelhouse of this highly rated trattoria serving the usual (tasty) suspects. Stuffed artichokes, baked ziti, thin-crust pizzas, and other classics grace the menu. There’s also Joe Mama’s meatball salad and a pizza with garlic oil, minced clams, fontinella cheese, and basil for slightly tweaked fare. Black-and-white photos and a vast wooden bar contribute to the ambience. 1416 South Michigan Avenue; 312-566-9300.

Atwood [$]
INTERIOR DESIGN
92
This seasonal American restaurant gets its name from architect Charles B. Atwood, who designed the 1895 landmarked Reliance Building it’s housed inside. But it is BCDG Studio that refreshed the current interiors with crisp white subway tile and tufted black-leather banquettes. As for the menu, it serves up such homey, flavorful classics as pan-seared chicken and rhubarb upside-down cake. 1 West Washington Street; 312-368-1900.
Band of Bohemia [$] Earning a Michelin star less than a year after opening is no small feat, yet that’s what Alinea alums Michael Carroll and Craig Sindelar have achieved. The brewhouse is set in an industrial brick building accessed by a sunny yellow door. The eclectic list of brewed-in-house drafts—the floral Cherry Kyoto and the black wheat ale (Sitting on) the Dark of the Bay among them—rotates seasonally and influences the food menu, which offers such delights as 30-day aged steak or braised celery root with pumpkin seeds, pecans, brown butter, leek oil, and vegetable caramel. 4710 North Ravenswood Avenue; 773-271-4710.
Bar Takito [¢] Is it Mexican you’re craving? Then get thee to this Latin shared-plate concept kitchen that draws inspiration from Mexico and Central and South America. The food is local and seasonal with inventive (but not out-there) takes on the quintessential, like an avocado margarita or the coffee-braised beef barbacoa tacos. Designed by D+K and Alex Alcott, the interiors are equal parts fun, festive, and industrial. Party time.
MONDAY 201 North Morgan Sreet; 312-888-9485.
DUCK DUCK GOAT
Bernie’s Lunch & Supper [¢/$] At Bernie’s, named after co-owner Zack Sklar’s grandfather, the servers wear tags with fake monikers like “Ethel” and “Wilbur.” So, you might expect a throwback menu but in fact the food falls loosely under the Mediterranean banner—think sweet-potato falafel sandwich. The luxe-industrial turquoise banquettes and custom brass chandeliers were masterminded by 555 International. If you strike happy hour, there’s an affordable menu of bites, which can be enjoyed on the rooftop bar, where one of the cocktails is called Weekend at Bernie’s 3. 660 North Orleans Street; 312-624-9892.
Brindille [$] You may recognize this one: It won the 2015 James Beard Foundation Award for Outstanding Restaurant Design, thanks to Bureau of Architecture and Design. Principal Tom Nahabedian, who’s a cousin of the chef, Carrie Nahabedian, outfitted the space in a serene arboreal theme (brindille is French for “twig”) of branchlike Lindsey Adelman light fixtures and walnut accents redolent of a forest. The cuisine is equally exquisite: lobes of foie gras, caviar atop Cortes Island oysters, sweetbreads with cocoa—and those are just the appetizers. 534 North Clark Street; 312-595-1616.
Cochon Volant [¢] As the general public continues its fascination with culinary culture, a trade term has entered the layperson’s lexicon: “the family meal,” which is what’s served to employees before a restaurant opens for dinner service. When chef Roland Liccioni was tapped for this all-day brasserie inside the Hyatt Centric, he thought about which meals made his colleagues in the kitchen happiest—thus the menu’s mix of comforting French classics: omelets, French dip, and steak frites. 100 West Monroe Street; 312-754-6560.
DINING GUIDE
Duck Duck Goat [¢]
Leña Brava [$]
Chef Stephanie Izard has a herd of goat-named restaurants in the West Loop. This is the most recent, and it comes with the endearingly up-front tagline “reasonably authentic Chinese.” Classics like moo shu pork mingle with such unusual takes as goat and duck skin spring rolls, glass noodles with smoked blueberries, and a miso sundae. The setting, courtesy of AvroKO, is sultry and decadent, conjuring a dreamlike version of Chinatowns across America—the perfect spot for a late-night feast.
Fire and ice is the theme of this Mexican restaurant from James Beard Foundation Award–winning chef Rick Bayless. Raw seafood is the ice, while everything else— braised short ribs, butter-roasted plantains, char-seared octopus—is cooked over a wood fire. Design Bureaux balanced the rustic cuisine with luxurious saddleleather chairs and walnut tables and made a feature of the exhibition-style chef’s kitchen, visible to all diners. It’s all enveloped in colors recalling the landscape of Oaxaca, the region that influences the mescal libations.
857 West Fulton Market; 312-902-3825.
900 West Randolph Street; 312-733-1975.
The name means love in Danish, and it is that culture’s cuisine that subtly inspires the fare at David and Anna Posey’s new eatery, where you can start with poached cod and end with a sunflower-seed parfait. Food aside, the design by Boone Interiors is also reason enough to go. It’s artsy and serene with wallpaper handdrawn by Anna, Apparatus sconces, chairs by the mid-century Danish designer Ejvind A. Johansson, and a courtyard warmed by an open fire.

Elske [$]
Momotaro [$] As far as Japanese restaurants go, this one breaks the mold. Its 11,000 square feet, designed by AvroKO, offer multiple dining experiences—from the sushi bar, set in the middle of the main floor, akin to a buzzing stock exchange, to a subterranean izakaya, dedicated to craft cocktails and inspired by the back alleys of Tokyo. Food choices are equally diverse: The extensive menu offers nigiri, robata skewers, and hibachi, among countless other options. 820 West Lake Street; 312-733-4818.
Frontier [¢] Should you have time to really break away from the Mart, head on over to “the edge of civilization,” aka West Town. Your palate should have that same sense of adventure, since nature dictates what’s on the menu. There are sausages made of wild boar or venison, smoked beef-cheek tacos, and an entire section dedicated to alligator (hot fried gator legs, anyone?). Saddle up to the generous wooden bar in the rustic main dining room, or kick back in the open-air beer garden. 1072 North Milwaukee Avenue; 773-772-4322.
Imperial Lamian [¢]
Roister [$] This is a fairly casual eatery for the acclaimed Alinea Group, but it’s just as excellent—and certainly lively, even boisterous at times. The tagline is “the kitchen is the restaurant, the restaurant is the kitchen,” and chef Andrew Brochu follow suit with high cuisine rooted in primal cooking techniques. Whole chicken with chamomile, maple-poached salmon, and hearth-baked lasagna are some of the dishes on offer. Enjoy them at the usual table-for-two or sit at the bar facing the open kitchen and watch the chefs work their magic. 951 West Fulton Market; reservations via tocktix.com.
A restaurant group from Indonesia makes a move to North America, landing in the Windy City. The food, though, is less Balinese and more Chinese, with a special focus on chef Wang Hongjun’s lamian, or hand-pulled noodles. Instagram aficionados fixate on the colorful xiao long bao, or soup dumplings, which come in a rainbow of hues corresponding to flavors such as spicy Szechuan, crab, truffle, and Gruyère. Designed by Jakarta-based firm Metaphor, the birdcage pendant fixtures and handmade lattice screens offer a contemporary take on traditional tropes.
MONDAY 6 West Hubbard Street; 312-595-9440.
The Aviary [$] Libations emerge from smoking chests. Elixirs steep in miniature French presses. Liquor is suspended in an ice orb, ready to be cracked open and consumed. These are just some of the theatrical presentations at Grant Achatz’s cocktail lounge. Though each drink can be served à la carte, the menu’s multicourse format ($65) is encouraged, the cocktails taking on the arc of a meal: a lighter concoction to start, moving to more substantial offerings, and ending with a digestif. For $135, enjoy a five-course pairing of food and drinks. 955 West Fulton Street; 312-226-0868.

The late Dan Kiley was the prolific landscape designer (1,000-plus projects!) behind the greenery at such mid-century icons as the Ford Foundation atrium in New York and the arcing Jefferson National Expansion Memorial in St Louis. Kiley’s gardens, plazas, and parks, whether grand or small residential commissions, are clean of line but never clinical—always humanist, considered, beautiful. He worked alongside some of the world’s most significant architects—Louis Kahn, I.M. Pei, and Eero Saarinen, among them. In this traveling exhibition, 45 newly commissioned photographs chronicle 27 of his projects. 224 South Michigan Avenue; 312-922-8687. 9AM–9PM daily.

CHICAGO HISTORY MUSEUM
“Making Mainbocher”
Chicago-born Main Rousseau Boche (1890–1976) has a storied biography: editor in chief of French Vogue, a spy, and, focused on in this exhibition, the first American couturier. His label, Mainbocher, dressed celebrities, royalty, and socialites—he was behind Wallace Simpson’s famous blue wedding dress, which spawned countless copycats. Balancing that rarefied realm, he designed uniforms for the women’s Navy reserves and the Girl Scouts of America. Explore the brand’s legacy via the show's 30 garments, illustrations, and photographs. 1601 North Clark Street; 312-642-4600. Monday, Wednesday– Saturday 9:30AM-4:30PM; Tuesday 9:30AM-7:30PM; Sunday 12-5PM.

Musing on our current obsession with “listicles” (10 top restaurants, 100 best films) filmmaker Cauleen Smith offers her own list: an alternative literary canon exploring race relations, institutional power structures, and social change. The series of 57 drawings of book covers are each produced in graphite and watercolor on 8½-by-12-inch graph paper. Reflecting idiosyncratic interests, Harriet Tubman and bell hooks find their place alongside a book of drawings by Yoko Ono and a scientific treatise on sea urchins. 111 South Michigan Avenue; 312-443-3600. 10:30AM–5:00PM daily; Thursday until 8:00PM.
FIELD MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY
“Tattoo”
Alternatively regarded as sacred or rebellious, a sign of belonging or an expression of individuality, art, or stigma, tattoos come with cultural charge. This exhibition from Paris’s Musée du Quai Branly-Jacques Chirac charts the tattoo’s global story, from Maori moko facial examples and a 17th-century stamp for Christian pilgrims to contemporary works. There are 125 objects, including ancient artifacts and designs imprinted onto silicone models of the human body. On select dates, visitors can watch live tattooing demonstrations at the museum’s pop-up parlor. 1400 South Lake Shore Drive; 312-922-9410. 9AM–5PM daily. Clockwise from opposite top left: Dan Kiley’s Jefferson National Expansion Memorial, St Louis. Cauleen Smith’s Grapefruit (2016), The Fire Next Time (2015), and Wild Seed (2015) in watercolor and graphite. A silicone torso tattooed by Leo Zulueta. The Field Museum of Natural History's pop-up parlor. Mainbocher’s 1965 dress, tweed suit from 1954, and 1951 ball gown.
