Housed in the former TWA terminal at JFK airport in New York, the property pays tribute to the 1960's design aesthetic by staying true to that era, all thanks to some incredible design. This month we are speaking with two individuals intimately involved in the creation of this fantastic project, to learn what it’s like celebrating that era, recreating an iconic mid century design aesthetic, and uncovering the unique challenges of meshing today’s standards with the look of yesteryear.

To find out the answer, we sought two accomplished professionals to share their experience as they distinguish furniture of the highest quality. First, we spoke to Sylvie Blondeau AIA, LEED GA; Project Manager with MCR Investors, which just debuted the incredible new [TWA](https://www.twahotel.com/)[Hotel](https://www.twahotel.com/) at JFK, and Samuelson Furniture’s in-house design expert Mike Rinaldi.

They often find themselves caught between the needs of designers, vendors, and of course the project’s owners. Purchasing professionals must negotiate an array of demands to deliver great products on time, and of course within budget. We have addressed some of the larger issues with Steven A. “Gus” Sarff III, President of [GS Associates](https://www.gsa-inc.com/), Newburyport, MA.  Gus shares his strategy of finding success in a continual sea of challenges.

Plus, they’re all masters at balancing brand demands with owner wants. Here’s how they maneuver this complicated thicket.

This includes the ways in which properties are operated behind the scenes as well as guest-facing technologies, and of course the latest electronic contraptions hotel customers use when on site. It has made those in the hotel industry rethink how interactive technology is applied in every aspect of the hotel experience, including through FF&E products such as furniture.  This provides inspiration to begin a dialog addressing the creative thought and application of technology in the hospitality environment.
