Yesterday, at the Ikea in New Haven, Connecticut I saw this reflection of the now vacant Marcel Breuer building (1970), caught just above the entrance. Already missing a large part of its building, the "tower" remains for now, but its future looks bleak. Perhaps it will be replaced by a hologram.
Even though it looks quilted, Marcel Breuer may have intended it to look that way, it is not. Just a good bend of the concrete. And it is standing idle in the Ikea parking lot in New Haven. Boy, it sure would make good studio space.
