How to have fun and be efficient shopping for antiques in Provence
You won't find this place in a tour guide but L'Isle sur la Sorgue grew from its humble beginning as a medieval crayfishing village to a modern community of 300 antique dealers who range from small one person shops to huge antique warehouses. These are not your typical "buy junk sell antique" places, you can source authentic pieces from 16th century up to modern time in any style that existed during these times.The best way to explore L'Isle sur la Sorgue is to stay in one of the many of local hotels (book in advance, they fill up fast) for a few days, spend your time going through the shops, and if you stay focused and have a plan you can easily come away with multiple containers of items, enough to complete a large project, everything from antique furniture, art, outdoor pieces, to silverware and table cloth, this place has everything and of highest quality.
And, take your client with you for a fun bonding experience, quick decision making, and, of course, to enjoy great local food.

Chapelle du Rosaire de Vence
I am surprised there aren't any sites with good pictures of the interior (and they do not allow to take pictures). You might like Matisse or not, but this chapel has an amazing sense of completeness that is just absolutely undeniable. An interesting bit of trivia is that Matisse refused to work with Le Corbusier on this chapel because he wanted to tell the architect exactly what to do, he picked a different architect, how familiar J.

MusaDesign keeps urban living exciting yet satisfying and comfortable at Escala Seattle
MusaDesign has recently completed a lifestyle showcase now on display at the Escala Tower. We worked with a true "A" list of Seattle partners who brought their diverse backgrounds and unique expertise to help us all realize artistic and lifestyle vision of exciting yet satisfying and comfortable urban living. We will share more details about the project and highlight a few unique collaborations in the weeks to come.
To get a taste of the project watch an interview that Polina Zaika of MusaDesign gave to king5 Evening Magazine: http://www.king5.com/on-tv/evening-magazine/Decorating-like-a-pro-88703557.html.

The Evolution of Communication Furniture (Is wired furniture on the way out?)
Buildings magazine has recently published an article by Eric Smith of MusaDesign, discussing evolution of wired firniture.
Read full article here: The Evolution of Communication Furniture
Solutions for bringing data to workstations are a common necessity for office environments – especially because the scourge of cables can quickly become excessive. The current offerings of integrated panels and wired furniture are flush with variety; however, these solutions are set to become extinct as the habits of business communication evolve. This cycle of replacement is typical – office furniture needs to be updated along with the technology it proffers – but the human proportions of furniture, which are the fundamental elements, do not change. This poses the question: What can be new about a table?
The answer begins with the evolving habits of communication. Since the paperwork explosion of the 1950s, the typical office presumption is that each worker operates primarily from an isolated station, because that’s where documents are stored and correspondence occurs. Today, these habits are rapidly changing – data storage is now virtual, and digital communication is omnipresent. Schools and businesses are finding that productivity is occurring more informally in places like open learning labs. These spaces use furniture that’s functional in a social way, encouraging interaction and exchange. Data cables and wired furniture will soon be a relic of the past as they give way to shared interactive surfaces and pocket computers. Examples of this emergent vision are under way at Microsoft Office Labs, and a sample video, titled "Productivity Future Vision," can be found at http://www.officelabs.com/.
Touchscreen tabletops like this one – essentially tabletop displays that can accommodate multiple users at once – have different applications, depending on where they’re used. In a hotel environment, these tabletops can include features like an interactive concierge and directions to shops and restaurants, downloadable music playlists, the ability to organize vacation photos, a digital jukebox, games, and pictures and information about sister hotel properties.
