Thank you to Diana Budds for covering The Travel Agency: A Cannabis Store in Fast Company

Many thanks to Corticeira Amorim and Guta Moura Guedes for inviting us to think about the future of our cities and the possibilities of cork to shape public spaces!

I am delighted to welcome Chris Leong as our Senior Director of Interiors at MillerKnoll. This role reinforces our integration between our architecture, showroom interiors and experience teams. With extensive experience in executing thoughtful commercial, residential, and retail experiences for companies that range from Brookfield Properties to Everlane and Phillip Lim to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Chris will provide a valuable approach to designing at the intersection of art and culture.    The position cements a longtime creative partnership between MillerKnoll and Chris's studio, Leong Leong - a collaboration that began with OfficeUS, a prototype workspace for the future of architectural offices, presented at the 2014 Venice Architecture Biennale, and has blossomed into ongoing furniture collaborations over the past decade. 

We are excited to announce that Chris Leong has been appointed as the Senior Director of Interiors for MillerKnoll. In this new role he will lead the design of environments around the world for the iconic brands in its collective–including Herman Miller and Knoll. Chris, who founded Leong Leong with Dominic Leong in 2009,  will remain a partner and strategic advisor at Leong Leong, while Shannon Han will assume the new role of Managing Director, leading the firm’s operations. https://lnkd.in/eTzy9YVv Remarking on the significance of the new role, Matt Stares, SVP of Real Estate, noted “This role reinforces our integration between our architecture, showroom interiors and experience teams.

I'm excited to build on Leong Leong’s work at the intersection of art and culture and bring this experience to an organization that is one of the preeminent leaders in design," remarked Chris Leong. “There is no one I can think of who is more qualified for this role. I'm certain that Chris' thoughtful leadership style and distinctive design vision will have a great impact at MillerKnoll,” notes Dominic. On the future of the practice Dominic noted “Chris and I founded the firm with the shared vision of realigning architecture as both an aesthetic practice and a social practice. Over the last fifteen years, we have developed a body of work that spans scales, typologies, and geographies – partnering with forward-thinking clients to realize new spaces for living and creating. Our team will continue building the practice with a renewed focus on addressing the ecological concerns of our immediate future.”
