DESIGN QUEST DESIGN GALLERY
From the very beginning of our existence in Grand Rapids, we at Design Quest have been fascinated by
design which is so remarkable in its technical excellence, its simplicity, and its beauty, that it is art. This is
the design that nourishes us, and which we wish to share.
For 35 years, we have put these art pieces in room settings, just as you would in your home. In July of 2007,
we decided that it would be useful to our customers to focus on new collections and ideas by devoting space to a
design gallery. We will show both the exceptional pieces and interesting ways to use them. Some shows focus on a
designer, and others will focus on a product category.

LIFEWORK: New Designs from Herman Miller — April 1 - May 31, 2009
What's the tempo of your life? Somewhere between the office and the kitchen table your lifework happens. Bills are paid, vacations planned, music downloaded, emails
returned, news gathered, reports written and purchases made. It's a daily rhythm that resonates from a central source—a home workspace in harmony with who
you are and how you express yourself.
The Design Gallery at Design Quest is proud to feature the Herman Miller Lifework™ Portfolio for home environments. Composed of five innovative desks,
companion storage pieces, select seating and accessories, these distinctive residential lifework solutions embody performance and style through the lyrical
Herman Miller design legacy.
They're ideal instruments for the tempo of life.

Embody Chair - back view
A matrix of pixels creates dynamic seat-and-back surfaces that automatically conform to your every movement and distribute your weight evenly

Healthful Movement
New tilt technology. Embody's rotation points are within the seat and back, and the base of the back remains fixed relative to the seat; this encourages the body to move naturally into the most positive seated postures.
Airia Desk
The Airia desk supports technology beautifully with simple, integrated cord management and an elevated second surface to keep the primary work area clutter free.
Sense Desk
Sense features a spacious work surface, easy plug-n-play assembly and stylish, technical lines. Install the optional desktop storage cabinet for added workspace intelligence.

ITALIAN ROMANCE — February 6 - March 31, 2009
Louis Cantillo is best known for his vibrant landscape photography, scenic photographs of Italy and other
parts of the world and his collection of doors and windows of the world. Louis has a gift for capturing unique perspectives
on the familiar, through careful composition and use of color, texture, and contrast.
Born in Caracas, Venezuela, Louis became interested in photography at an early age. He studied photography at Houston
Community College from 1990-1992. An Arizona resident since 1992, Louis was drawn to the southwest by its rugged diversity
and many challenges for the professional photographer. While Mr. Cantillo began his photographic career with Arizona
landscapes, sunsets, and lightning shots, it was a chance side trip through the barrios of Tucson that led him to his real
passion - that of photographing colorful doors and windows of the historic districts of the southwestern U.S. and Mexico.
Louis has received national recognition for his images of the El Presidio and Barrio Districts of Tucson. He has also
expanded his portfolio to include doors of New Mexico, Colorado, California, and most recently Europe.
