EXP 3: FINAL SUBMISSION
STEVE JOBS' OFFICE
Being the CEO of the Apple company, Steve Jobs is related with the advancing technology of today, from creating computers and laptops to iPods and iPhones. In today's modern world, technology plays a huge and significant role in everyone's lives, utimately being the 'tool' in connecting everyone worldwide together. The model of Jobs' office consists of many structural lines interweaving and overlapping each other symbolising this notion of the interconnectivity of modern citizens today. The structural lines used in this model is similar to a tree's branches intertwining with each other. These interconnecting lines represent the power Jobs has to link everyone in this world together through creative and unique technological innovations, a power not everyone has.


The monolithic aspect of this office also highlights the power and grandeur of Versace's company, being the leader of the fashion gobal industry. The simplistic but modern design reflects the sophistication of the Versace label.

THE DINING TABLE
The dining table is designed as a perfect symmetry illustrating the power of women in modern society gaining equality in this very male-dominated world, especially in high CEO positions. Versace's success in her career is very much equal to the success of Jobs, depicting their very equal powers.
The structural form of the dining table and chairs are twisted symbolising the shift and change in gender issues over history. As outlined in my MashUp article, women have caught up with men to gain higher positions and superior powers in this very tough world. The red colour of the chairs highlight this strong power of both Versace and Jobs that have impacted on the world greatly.
