Question: A. J. Iversen collaborated with architects and designers to create a style of furniture development in what nation?
Context: Fritz Hansen, also known as Republic of Fritz Hansen, is a Danish furniture design company.  Designers who have worked for Fritz Hansen include Arne Jacobsen (1902–1971), Poul Kjærholm (1929–1980), Hans J. Wegner (1914–2007) and Piet Hein (1905–1996).  Fritz Hansen also collaborates with contemporary furniture architects including Hiromichi Konno, Cecilie Manz, and Kasper Salto. Furniture Style (magazine) was a monthly business-to-business magazine and Web site serving home furnishings retailers, specifically furniture retailers, and interior designers.  Owned by William C. Vance's Vance Publishing Corp., the magazine was BPA-audited and reaches 25,000 furniture retail professionals in the United States and Canada.  The magazine was based in Lincolnshire, Illinois, at Vance Publishing's corporate headquarters; it was founded in October 1996.  Key members of the editorial staff included Julie M. Smith, publisher; Romy Schafer, editor; Thomas A. Prais & Sara Sandock, managing editors; and Senior Contributing Editor Nancy Robinson.  It ceased publication in 2009.  The next year, Vance sold the "Furniture Style" assets to Scranton Gillette Communications. Andreas Jeppe Iversen, usually known as A.J. Iversen, (13 December 1888 - 17 December 1979) was a Danish cabinetmaker and furniture designer.  From the 1920s, his collaboration with architects and designers paved the way for the style which later became known as Danish modern. Howlett and Bailey Architects was founded by Jeffrey Howlett and Donald Bailey in 1960, in Perth, Western Australia.  They received numerous design awards and commendations from the Royal Australian Institute of Architects and won the Reserve Bank’s competition in Canberra in 1962.  Their designs combined Modern style and Classical rationale, which resulted in ordered and axial aspects.  Howlett and Baileys Architects’s major projects included the Public Suite, the Beatty Park Pool kiosk and Manager’s house (now demolished), and the two Australian landmarks the Council House (1962) and the Perth Concert Hall (1973).  Howlett and Bailey Architects merged with Cox Architects in 1995 to create Cox Howlett & Bailey Architects.  In 1998 the company merged with Forbes & Fitzhardinge Woodland to form Cox Howlett & Bailey Woodland Architects, which still practices today. Populuxe was a consumer culture and aesthetic in the United States popular in the 1950s and 1960s.  The term comes from a combination of popular and luxury.  The work of various artists, designers, graphic designers, furniture designers, interior designers and architects is associated with the movement.  It is associated with consumerism and overlaps with mid-century modern architecture, Streamline Moderne, Googie architecture (Doo Wop architecture) and other futuristic and Space Age influenced design aesthetics that were optimistic in nature, futurist and technology focused. Danish modern is a style of minimalist furniture and housewares from Denmark associated with the Danish design movement.  In the 1920s, Kaare Klint embraced the principles of Bauhaus modernism in furniture design, creating clean, pure lines based on an understanding of classical furniture craftsmanship coupled with careful research into materials, proportions and the requirements of the human body.  With designers such as Arne Jacobsen and Hans Wegner and associated cabinetmakers, Danish furniture thrived from the 1940s through the 1960s.  Adopting mass-production techniques and concentrating on form rather than just function, Finn Juhl contributed to the style's success.  Danish housewares adopting a similar minimalist design such as cutlery and trays of teak and stainless steel and dinnerware such as those produced in Denmark for Dansk in its early years, expanded the Danish modern aesthetic beyond furniture. Furniture created in the Art Nouveau style was prominent from the late 19th century to the advent of the First World War.  Unlike furniture made by the British Arts and Crafts movement, from which it emerged in stylistic respects, most Art Nouveau furniture was produced in factories by normal manufacturing techniques, which led to tensions with Arts and Crafts figures in England, who criticised continental Art Nouveau furniture for not being "'honestly' constructed.  It also tended to be expensive, as a fine finish, usually polished or varnished, was regarded as essential, and continental designs were usually very complex, with curving shapes that were expensive to make.  It by no means entirely replaced other styles of furniture, which continued to be popular, with Art Nouveau styles largely restricted to an expensive "art furniture" category.  The style was named for Siegfried Bing's Maison de l'Art Nouveau gallery and shop in Paris, which opened in 1895, and in France and Belgium furniture designers took up the style with more enthusiasm than those of most countries. Herman Miller, Inc., based in Zeeland, Michigan, is a major American manufacturer of office furniture, equipment and home furnishings.  It is notable as one of the first companies to produce modern furniture and, under the guidance of Design Director George Nelson, is likely the most prolific and influential producer of furniture of the modernist style.  Among classic Herman Miller products are the Equa chair, Aeron chair, Noguchi table, Marshmallow sofa, and the Eames Lounge Chair.  Herman Miller is credited with the invention of the office cubicle (originally known as the "Action Office II") in 1968 under then-director of research Robert Propst.  Herman Miller holds a unique position among furniture manufacturers for having cultivated the talents of a large number of modernist designers, producing a significant number of pieces that are now considered icons of industrial design. Graphisoft MEP Modeler (where MEP stands for Mechanical/Electrical/Plumbing) is an extension to ArchiCAD, Graphisoft's architectural design tool to create three-dimensional models of ductwork, piping and electrical networks in order to make the building information model of the designed building more detailed an accurate.  Since ArchiCAD is primarily used by architects, the building parts which are usually modeled in 3D with ArchiCAD are walls, columns, slabs, roofs, etc. and some other objects like furniture.  But when detailed plans are to be elaborated especially if the project is a medium or large-sized building, collision detection and constructibility are becoming more and more important in order to minimize design errors and unnecessary delays during construction.  This is where MEP Modeler can help building engineers and architects to create a more detailed building model with ductworks and other HVAC systems modeled in 3D in order to achieve a better coordination between the different trades such as building engineers, structural engineers and architects. Selima Salaun was raised in Algeria and Tunisia before attending school and becoming an opticienne-lunetière (licensed as optician, optometrist, and optical artisan) in France.  After working in Paris for Royale Optique and Alain Mikli, Salaun landed in New York City to manage Mikli’s first New York store.  Foregoing the launch of Mikli’s first store in Japan, the first Selima Optique boutique was opened in 1993 on the corner of Wooster and Broome in Soho.  The Optique began fulfilling custom orders with a French atelier when a friend (Hubert Kriegel of the Timeless Ride) asked if Selima could make him a “funkier” version of the iconic “Le Corbusier” frame.  After Barney’s president bought a few customs, the store asked to carry a full brand collection and, with some wholesale guidance from Barneys, the first official Selima Optique collection was produced and sold through a shop-in-shop at Barneys New York in 1996.  Since 1996 the company has expanded with retail locations and wholesale accounts across the world and into different industries as well.  In the 2000s there was Selima’s Soho lingerie store “Le Corset,” French-inspired luxury lingerie shopped by New Yorkers and worn by Baby Spice in the Rolling Stone Magazine.  And in 2009 there was “Hats by Selima Atelier,” a collection of eclectic hats created with partner Virginie Promeyrat and notably shopped by Madonna.  Now, Selima Optique has retail locations in New York, Los Angeles, Dallas, and Paris, France and its collection is wholesaled globally.  The brand has collaborated with the likes of Jack Spade and J.Crew, and more recently with NBA MVP Russell Westbrook, style icon Iris Apfel, and New York’s Neue Galerie.  Personally, Selima Salaun has helped mentor designers like Darylynn and Coco & Breezy while sitting on the Council of Fashion Designers of America’s board and helping found the Eyewear Designers of the Council of Fashion Designers of America (efCFDA).  Popular with celebrities and creatives, Selima’s clients include Anne Hathaway, Lady Gaga, and Ryan Gosling.  Client-turned-friend John Turturro credits her as the inspiration for the character played by Sofia Vergara in his film “Fading Gigolo.”
