Love the swirly starburst glass table with built-in candelabra stand, some fun Whimsigothic vibes. The bedspread is great too!
‘Artscape’ residence by architect W. Douglas Breidenbach (early 1990s)

This one has that mid-late 90s contemporary feel; those little glass tables with wheels seem like a hallmark of that style. And the carpet! 🌀😍

South Florida residence - love the custom glass dining table w/ embedded colorful 'pebbles' & the PoMo Faux Ruins wall.

As promised (with a bit of a delay), a tour of one of the most notoriously extravagant mansions ever built, Dean Gardens!

All images are scanned from the book, 'Dean Gardens: Legacy of Vision' ('93), released in conjunction with the completion of the home in 1992. ImageImageImageImage
Dean Gardens was built by software entrepreneur Larry Dean in the John's Creek area of Atlanta. It totaled 32,000 SF, with a construction cost of $30 million (and $1.5 million in upkeep).

Interestingly, all of the home's interiors were designed by Larry's son, Christopher. Image
We start with 'The Rotunda', a 3.5-story high entry area. Centered in the glass walls are entry doors that were once a part of the Chicago Cotton Exchange. The golden medallions lining the dome are actually cherub sculptures of children's faces by artist Martin Dawe. ImageImageImageImage

Gripe I just can't get over: 'Corporate Memphis' as a name for that annoying 'Exaggerated Proportions Tech People' style doesn't make sense. ImageImageImageImage
First of all, 'Corporate Memphis' was already a thing, in the 1980s.

The Memphis Group, a small collective in Italy, burst onto the scene in 1981 with their wonderfully wild patterns, furniture, and interiors. With anything exciting, it was imitated endlessly once arriving. ImageImageImageImage
Designers literally copied Memphis Group, eg. this example of the 'Prisma Collection' by Milo Baughman' from the mid 80s. Additionally, it was used in corp. interiors like this one for Quatre Plus (1994). ImageImageImageImage

Thread: Back in 2019, found that the Seattle library has a huge archive of HOW Magazine, which covered graphic design back in the 90s. It's a great insight into how varied the design landscape was at the time.

The works below are by Studio MD, one of my all-time favorite firms.
One issue in 1993 covered the interiors of various graphic designers' offices; my favorite being this very vibrant Memphis-inspired look for Vaughn Wedeen Creative in Albuquerque, NM.
Whimsical & questionable 'tribal' motifs make an appearance, as the 'Global Village Coffeehouse' aesthetic was omnipresent in the early 1990s. Some articles from the time do specifically discuss that it may have been a reaction against the (then) new emergence of digital design.

Thread: Wonderful, wild, and (mostly defunct) food-centric retail designs from 'Food Presentation & Display' by the legendary Martin Pegler (1992)

#1: California Beach Rock 'N Sushi - Melrose Ave, Los Angeles, CA - Designed by Ted Tokio Tanaka

I had posted some images of this one before, though I had no idea it had an 'indoor beach' with prop sharks, TVs, and painted murals! ImageImageImageImage
Finally found the 'Frasurbane' McDonalds, a surprisingly sophisticated design located in 3 Nationwide Plaza, Columbus OH (year unknown)

Designed by Bohm-NBBJ Architects ImageImageImageImage

In 1994, inspired by the theme restaurant boom, Steven Spielberg & Jeffrey Katzenberg founded 'Dive!', an undersea-submarine themed restaurant. (3) locations were opened in LA (Century City), Las Vegas, and Barcelona, with all closing by 1999. (1/X) ImageImageImageImage
A fully-curated experience, upon entering through the 'hatch door' entry, guests are greeted by a uniform-clad 'sailor', guiding them to their seats; adjacent to either a porthole window with underwater aquarium or view of the massive multi-screen virtual 'sea window'. (2/X) ImageImageImageImage
I'm particularly impressed by the Las Vegas location's exterior, creating the impression of 'ship bursting through the sea' using various architectural techniques at their disposal; along with the attention to detail in the interior environments. ImageImageImageImage
