Milwaukee’s Design Fugitives design firm created Think Tank, an inexpensive yet beautiful solution that’s flat-packable, shippable, and easy to assemble. The space can be climate controlled, contains lock-able doors, and uses a clear polycarbonate roof.

Jeff Wardell and Claudia Sagan converted two shipping containers into a home office and a guest bedroom inside their huge warehouse space in San Francisco (a 3,200-square foot former Chinese laundry and tooth-powder factory).

An classic Airstream trailer (also featured in the opening photo) works overtime as a quirky conference room in the offices of The Merrick System, a Toronto-based advertising and digital agency.

The headquarters of Loosecubes — a company dedicated to the art of coworking — employs a humble canvas tent in the middle of its spacious Brooklyn studio. (Can we assume that the Eames molded plastic armchair is moved inside the tent for brianstorm sessions requiring a little extra creativity?)

Where to start? LACMA has outdone itself with curator Wendy Kaplan’s ambitious “California Design: Living in a Modern Way.”  This is the show that includes the reconstructed Eames living room. The whole show houses around 350 objects—furniture, ceramics, fashion, textiles  graphic design and includes Herman Miller pieces that are still in production like the Eames Elliptical table and the Eames Storage Unit. This exhibition, which is the first major  show to look at mid century modern design attracted over 1500 people to the opening night reception.
