3.8.10 | Ted Moudis Associates (TMA) is hot. Other firms might be laying off, but TMA has been picking up some of the talent. The firm has the results to show for it. Recently it received two architectural design awards for its clients, Société Générale and Cottingham & Butler. Both projects received Awards of Merit from Midwest Construction magazine.

2.8.10 | IA Interior Architects, a multi-branch, international firm, is one of just a few large firms that have made a world-class reputation based largely on their work in interiors. Recently, the firm has been making news because of its recognized projects, and because of the personnel developments in its coastal offices, NYC and LA, both of which have had stumbling points in the recent past.

01.25.10 | Edmonton is nearer than you think. The capital of Alberta, Canada’s oil-rich Western province, is home to the head office of Stantec, one of North America’s largest integrated architecture, design and engineering firms. With 10,000 employees operating out of 130 offices throughout North America, Building Design and Construction’s 2009 Giants 300 Report ranks the firm 7th among America’s top 50 architecture-and-engineering companies. In size and practice area, it occupies an overlapping niche among Canadian design competitors, between Toronto-based IBI Group, with 2,600 architects, designers and engineers; and Montreal engineering and construction giant SNC-Lavalin, with 23,000 staff.
01.18.10| It was neither the best of times nor the worst of times. While we in the U.S. continue, generally, our charmed lives, there were events and circumstances in the interiors industries to bemoan and many that brought joy and hope. The economy finally struck us with full force, and by the end of November, contract furniture orders were $620 million for the month, with estimated trailing 12-month orders at $7.77 billion, down 30.2% year-over-year. November shipments were $640 million, with trailing 12-month shipments estimated at $8.025 billion, a 28.9% year-over-year decrease -- "the worst drop we have on record," said Raymond James analyst Budd Bugatch. Still, every drastic shift brings the prospect of an inflection point, and we look forward to seeing what we have learn from 2009. Here are a few of the salient developments covered last year by officeinsight.

12.14.09 | Cubellis, the Boston-headquartered firm, has closed its doors. (See officeinsight 8.20.07, Interview with Len Cubellis.) The firm had been in business for over 20 years and, during the period 2005-2007 and beyond, was engaged in an aggressive expansion plan. The plan was to “grow big by staying small,” said Mr. Cubellis. Small entrepreneurial firm offices, empowered to make their own decisions, were supported by the firm-wide business infrastructure and the ability to leverage firm-wide project capabilities.

10.24.09 | Career path’s are not always linear, but often have interesting angles and peculiar trajectories. Michael Winstanley, AIA, AICP, is one such case, and, as of October 1, he is the Managing Principal of Mancini•Duffy/Winstanley, the D.C./Virginia regional offices of NY-headquartered Mancini Duffy. Just last week, Mancini Duffy announced that Mr. Winstanley and his team of seven and Doug Svitchan and George Eisenberger of Still and Svitchan have become part of the the 35 member force in the D.C. region for Mancini•Duffy.
10.26.09 | In the years I have been writing about interior design, I have been continually amazed by the intelligence, talent, breadth of experience and depth of knowledge of interior design professionals. And, almost to a person, these professionals are highly attuned to the notion of completing their projects in accordance with the wishes of their clients.

6.8.09 | Now comes Itoki Design, a new company to us, bringing another group of interesting chairs to our industry. I like the company already. It made its U.S. debut at ICFF 2009, a venue with no attitude but good design, fun and a welcome for everyone. Why it even has a day for the general public, a phenomenon about which contract furniture manufacturers and dealers look down their noses and sneer.
5.18.09 | By now, most design firms should have the marketing capability enabling them to walk into a client of any size and say, "I can save you X hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars every year, and back it up with data." Let's face it, the aesthetic design capabilities and related aspects of interior design are pretty much a commodity in the sense that they are readily available at fair-to-bargain prices; today, 10s of thousands of talented interior designers who can do that have been laid off for want of work.
