Modern Atlanta

Photography, George Menes 

Great architecture usually makes its way to an admiring public via a finish project. Yet rarely do we acknowledge the creative minds or processes behind what is seen. MA wanted to change that, so recently we invited some of Atlanta’s most talented contemporary architects to Atlanta’s High Museum of Art for a historic group photo. We also invited a few of Atlanta’s own top designer showrooms to participate by supplying iconic chairs created by some of the biggest names in design.
