Sergey Estrin will speak at U-OFFICE office furniture design competition seminar on 5th of February.

Criteria like technology and production cost would always be of greater significance to a manufacturer then novelty, wanting a counterbalance force to create equilibrium. The challenge for the architects is to value the creativity and artistic approach, to establish designability and feasible implementation of ideas that are not obvious and step over the bounds of initial limits.
