For the 1982 Hauserman showroom at the Pacific Design Center in Los Angeles, Vignelli Associates invited minimalist light artist Dan Flavin to collaborate.
Hauserman, which made office furniture systems, didn’t get a traditional showroom full of desks and partitions! Instead it became what International Lighting Review called “an inseparable fusion between a functional showroom and a work of art” and the NY Times called “the kind of magical environment that was both puzzling and exciting… a three-dimensional work of art.”
In interviews, Massimo Vignelli described the showroom as a “celebration of the walls and the space between them” and “the reflected shades mix with one another to form visual planes in space, best described as transparent walls of colour.”
The showroom gained a lot of attention and won numerous awards. The color of lights got changed in 1983 and created a while new vibe. Some of the corridors were recreated for Dan Flavin retrospective in 2007 at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

Het ‘moederontwerp’ van de het Ei van de Zwolse Fundatie is het IBM paviljoen op de Wereldtentoonstelling van 1964.
De IBM Corporation had een populair paviljoen, ontworpen door Eero Saarinen, waar een reusachtige tribune met 500 zitplaatsen, de “People Wall”, door hydraulische vijzels hoog in een ellipsoïdaal theater werd geduwd. Daar werd een film van Charles en Ray Eames getiteld ‘Think’ vertoond op veertien projectoren op negen schermen, die de werking van computerlogica belichtten. Op de begane grond onder het theater konden bezoekers Mathematica: A World of Numbers… and Beyond (een tentoonstelling van wiskundige modellen en curiosa) en de Mathematica Peep Show (een reeks korte films ter illustratie van wiskundige basisbegrippen) bekijken.
