Three paintings by Oskar Fischinger Coincidentally, Oskar worked as motion picture cartoon effects animator at Disney right around the same time KEM Weber designed the new offices. Theoretically, he could have been using a Weber desk when he was working on Fantasia. Fischinger at work at the Disney studio in 1939. He hated it. More on that, here.

Knorr / Girard
Scoren House (1969) in Woodside, CA by Don Knorr Robert Scoren, a dentist in Palo Alto, had his friend Don Knorr design a house for him. Another friend, Alexander Girard, designed the doors and a number of other features of the house. I was able to get inside for a tour. Girard sketches of the SCOREN doors. Source: House Industries
