February 2013
The plan to transition from the existing custom space-dyed carpet to a standard line solution-dyed carpet requires going from a very specific color palette to a neutral palette with accents.

recommendation and presentation to the project champion to select a more visually lightweight
chair to coordinate with the other selected furniture. The chrome framed metal chair shown
below as selected and purchased. The installation was not completed due to a need to re-
