This article presents information on award-winning designer Richard Holbrook. Holbrook debuted a new collection of home/office furniture at the fair inspired by the look, lightweight design, and strength of classic Gibson guitars. The first item, Lucy, is a compact desk with an overhead shelf and coordinated work tools. The products are based on a new "hollowbody" tabtetop construction that creates a lightweight, rigid structure by fusing a thin, contoured, multiply top skin with a peripheral frame and bottom skin.

Known for his spare, austere forms, Dutch architect Wiel Arets's work has been referred to as" industrial poetry." Lensvelt, the Dutch manufacturer of office furniture dedicated to contemporary design and production methods, enlisted Arets to design both its headquarters and a new product line. Echoing the rigid geometric forms of his buildings, the Stealth collection incorporates conference furniture, storage, and benches. The storage system was specifically designed to divide space while maintaining acoustic integrity to the open plan.
