What makes architecture and design in Tampa Bay unique or interesting:

The architecture and design in Tampa Bay is fascinating because the city is growing quickly, leaving opportunities for designers to shape what the city will look, feel and function like in the coming years.

Favorite Haworth Collection Piece:

Back-Wing Cassina

What Is Special About It:

I really like the soft curves and how it seems fairly simple at first glance, but the more you look at it, the more detail you notice in the form, legs and stitching. I also love how versatile the look of the chair is when you swap out the materials on the seat, back and legs.
