Steve Jobs' Office from the exterior
Interior of Donatella Versace's Office:
Versace's power is derived from fashion. This notion is mirrored in the form of her office, which represents swirling, beautifully coloured fabric. Some of these sections move into place as you walk through her office, demonstrating the constantly changing nature of fashion, and Versace's need to adapt depending on the current fashion climate.

Table for two clients in meeting place:
there is a gravitational pull between the two legs of the table, as they strain against each other. This is representational of the vastly different yet equal forms of power both clients have. One is derived from fashion, the other from technology-two very disparate fields, yet both clients have reached the top of their field, and so are equal in this power struggle, made manifest in the table.
Steve Jobs' elevator in top level of his office:
Jobs' elevator fits neatly into the centre of his room, where it simultaneously becomes his desk. Jobs' power is about technology and innovation, and I wanted this unique fusion of elements to represent that. Although Jobs' table/elevator is slightly raised from the ground, representing his climb to the top, he is still very much in touch with those around him, as one has to be in a field involving so many technicians, engineers and designers.
