(PRWEB) May 23, 2012

Pacific Play Systems, leading supplier of commercial playground equipment in southern California, acquired and relocated its headquarters to 3226 Grey Hawk Court, Carlsbad, CA 92010. Prior to the recent move, the company leased a smaller facility at 3142 Tiger Run Court, Carlsbad, CA 92010. Pacific Play Systems has more than tripled its floor area, which includes office and warehouse space. The new facility will improve the effective delivery of customer service throughout southern California.

Company President, Ali Bemanian explains that the new larger warehouse can store several dozen commercial playgrounds. The storage facility gives Pacific Play Systems a competitive advantage, making it possible to handle the bulky goods of playground equipment for large projects, while serving multiple customers. Bemanian adds that the company is experienced with large projects, having completed several multi-million dollar projects, which is unusual in the commercial playground equipment market. Bemanian reports that the seasonal strategy for timing the move was critical as Pacific Play Systems is scheduled to have a busy summer with commercial playground equipment projects throughout southern California, in: San Diego, Orange, Riverside, Imperial, San Bernardino and Los Angeles counties. These projects are either already in progress or in the planning stages.

Aside from the new facility upgrade, Pacific Play Systems has added two new playground equipment designers: one with a Bachelors Degree in Architecture and the other with a Bachelors Degree in Visual Arts. Bemanian, the company President has an educational background in architecture with expertise in manufacturing, construction, and commercial playground equipment design. With such extensive knowledge of the business market, Bemanian works closely with the company staff to create outstanding designs for playground equipment projects. Pacific Play Systems has won several key commercial playground equipment projects this year, including a prestigious playground project at US MCB, Camp Pendleton, CA. Pacific Play Systems also earned a high score of 98.2% in a recent design build competition for a playground equipment renovation project at a major park for the City of San Diego; this is presently in the planning stage.

In addition to working closely with the design staff at Pacific Play Systems, Bemanian creates outstanding designs by closely collaborating with designers and engineers at Playcraft, a west coast leading manufacturer of commercial playground equipment. Pacific Play Systems and Playcraft have a strategic geographic business relationship that benefits their customers.

Tata Technologies eMO EV Design Chief to Moderate Global Micro-Cars Interior Panel at Wards Auto Interiors Conference

Posted on by

Detroit, MI (PRWEB) May 17, 2012

Tata Technologies, a leading global provider of engineering services and product development IT, announced that Peter Davis, Chief Designer Vehicle Design will moderate a panel discussion titled Global Micro-Cars Interiors at the 2012 Wards Auto Interiors Conference on May 17, in Dearborn, Mich. Davis is the Chief Designer on the Tata Technologies electric MObility (eMO) engineering study EV, which made its world debut at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January, and which was again on display at the SAE 2012 World Congress in Detroit last month.

Davis panel will take a detailed look at the challenges and possibilities of the micro-cars that are changing the world. Small is in, according to global automotive design trends; and panelists will share the latest ideas on where interior development is heading in these crucial vehicles. Davis will bring his personal insights from the eMO EV study to the discussion.

Designing micro-car interiors is a creative challenge, and demands a holistic from the interior-out mind-set, especially in North America, Davis says. What you dont do, is simply shrink a big car down. You have to preserve the interior space and find clever ways of making it even larger and easier to use. You need to push the green house architecture, and minimize the interior furniture, like we did on the eMO EV study.

We met that challenge, preserving a comfortable package for four adults, yet reducing the exterior size to a minimum. A high seating position, great visibility, a sensation of generous space, and easy ingress and egress were integrated into the vehicle architecture. Todays customers are used to great materials and finishes, and will expect richer interiors in these micro-cars. Micro doesnt mean cheap anymore, he added.

Panelists scheduled to participate on the Global Micro-Cars Interiors panel include Jay Hutchins, Director of Marketing and Product Planning Faurecia Interior Systems; Katherine Sirvio, Senior Design Manager Global Chevrolet Color and Trim, Chevy Spark; and Tim Yerdon, Global Director Innovation and Design Visteon.

The Wards Auto Interiors Conference is an annual gathering of leaders in the automotive industry, focusing upon automotive interiors engineering and design. The conference includes the Wards 10 Best Interiors awards; and scholarship awards to students from Detroits College for Creative Studies. Throughout the day, panel sessions will be presented providing the latest from industry experts on topics including environmentally friendly materials, connectivity, consumer needs, auto interiors and safety. http://www.wardsauto.com/interiors.com

As a ground-up EV study, eMO also incorporates design advantages over an internal combustion engine vehicle like smoother aerodynamic surfaces and shorter overhangs. eMO benefits from a low carbon footprint and a recyclability strategy. The eMO business case sets the MSRP at the disruptive price point of $ 20,000, before federal tax incentives or rebates.

New York, NY (PRWEB) May 29, 2012

The International design authority Dwell Media and the ground-breaking weekly New York Magazine today announce a historic media partnership. This fall the two independent media companies are teaming up to celebrate architecture and design in New York City with the creation of a co-branded print publication and a week-long design festival to be held Oct 1-7.

The partnership combines the strengths of Dwells expertise on modern design and architecture with New Yorks authoritative and influential voice on urban culture and New York design to create a new annual celebration of architecture and design in New York. The American Institute of Architects (AIA) New York chapter has coined the month of October as Archtober, calendaring programming, tours, and talks dedicated to architecture. Dwell and New York will be kicking off Archtober month by hosting its design-related events and home tours in Manhattan and Brooklyn that first week, the goal being to make October the premier month for celebration of architecture and design in NYC.

The joint publication is being co-created with the Dwell and New York editorial teams, led by Amanda Dameron and Wendy Goodman respectively, and will feature designer profiles, unique projects, and sneak peeks of the home tours, as well as a festival guide. The total distribution will be 150,000, tapping a portion of each titles New York area subscribers and newsstands. The co-branded issue will be included with Dwells October issue and New Yorks September 17 issue. Advertising and sponsorships will be sold by both organizations.

Dwell Media President, Michela OConnor Abrams: It has always been part of our plan at Dwell Media to bring a world class event to New York City similar to what we have done in Los Angeles with Dwell on Design each June. New York magazine was the perfect partner for this endeavor as both of our brands celebrate great design and embrace new challenges. We look forward to developing a unique and enduring partnership that delivers a fresh perspective and new ideas to New Yorks design community.

Coming on the heels of our successful new stand-alone magazine New York Design Hunting, this partnership with Dwell Media is an exciting opportunity to further our impact in the design world, says New York Media publisher Larry Burstein. This is the first time in recent years that weve teamed up in this way with another magazine, and doing so with an influential brand like Dwell the results are sure to be phenomenal.

The home tours in Manhattan and Brooklyn on the weekend of Oct 5 will sell a limited number of tickets available for purchase at http://www.dwellhometours.com. Grohe is committed as Official Sponsor, and the Grohe Live showroom on Fifth Avenue will be the ticket pick-up location for the Manhattan home tours.
