Article Abstract:
Mekus Johnson Inc designed the new offices of Budget Rent-A-Car Corp in Lisle, IL, to reflect the value orientation of the company's evolving corporate image. References to automobiles are made with the subtle use of design and materials throughout the offices. Warm-tone woods and wood finishes and blue upholstery emulate the company's blue and orange official colors. Reception area seating suggests interiors of luxury automobiles with overstuffed chairs.
