The Dining table and chairs were designed to reflect the individual spaces of the two clients. Oprah's chair is similar to her space with the strong triangular shapes, which visually overpower the soft curves of Ive's chair. Her chair is also more throne like in shape, with its very strong and tall back, giving it a regal feel as Oprah is considered Queen of talk show television.
Oprah's Elevator is very simple, to portray her strength and influence- it's transparent to show that she is very open when it comes to her fame, and its not enclosed as she is exposed to the public and the world around her through her fame.
Ive's elevator is fully enclosed, to reflect not only him but the type of fame and power he possesses. He is so influential through his work with Apple and yet his name is so unknown. The vibrant and chaotic texture on his elevator reflects his work and its strong power over the public, and it hides him inside the smooth spherical shape, which is actually made up of different curved pieces to represent his long journey with Apple that took many steps to get to the fame and influence it has now.
Ive's space is very exposed to the environment around him, to represent that his work, which he completes in the space, is very much in the public eye, even if he isn't.
The connecting bridge between the two spaces.
