IPS System facilitates MoMA interior design
From Coffee Pot to Pull Handles: Knud Holscher and dLine at MoMA.
Danish design gets its largest international showroom ever when the Museum of Modern Art in New York, reopens in November. Nearly all of the furniture, hardware, and utensils in the expanded and totally renewed museum were created by Danish designers, among them dLine designer Knud Holscher.
Counted among the privileged few whose work has long been on permanent display in MoMA's hall of fame, Danish design great Knud Holscher contributes to the new MoMA with a small selection of hardware products; products which have already won the status of modern classics in Northern Europe.
IPS provided dLine, the manufacturer of MoMA's iconic signage, with a fast and efficient system to specify and cost their signs. A PDF specification, including a quote, is produced in response to a user entering the requirements of a sign into an on-line user interface. The standard sign specification system ('JigSaw') is a computer based system that enables a standard stainless steel sign to be composed and specified in a series of steps, each offering a relevant preset of choices. Once a sign has been composed, a template can be saved and re-used or adapted to further simplify the specification process.
A process which had previously taken over a month is transformed into one which only takes minutes. A sign is designed, costed, approved and sent direct for screen printing - all through one Integrated Publishing Solution.
