TEAGUE  (the design company) had this Polaroid Lamp (1937) hidden away in storage, thought to have been lost. During their recent move, it was found! And here's one of the photos that I got of it. It's doesn't light up, but was in great condition. Notice the specked brown of the Bakelite plastic. Photo by Jason Morris.

Leon's concept interior for a Puma retail store was inspired by the temples and Japanese architecture. He is a senior industrial design student at Western Washington University. .

Leon's refined form was done without knowing that it would turn into retail design project.

This is a scale model about 10 inches (25 cm) tall, using wood, paper, plastic and lights.  Leon chose to emphasize the Puma bold red logo by using color sparingly.
