Interior Design, December, 2006

Loft-Right, Chicago

Gone are the dorm days of bed frames raised on cinder blocks and duct-taped easy chairs--well, at least for 580 students lucky enough to be boarded at Loft-Right, a DePaul University off-campus residence hall. Chairs by no lesser talents than Eero Saarinen, Verner Panton, and Piero Lissoni furnish the lobby lounge; custom platform beds and full kitchens with granite counters are a whole lot more substantial than anything offered at Urban Outfitters. Neighbors can chat on "front porches," painted alcoves outside suite entrances, so as not to interrupt studious roommates. It's enough to make anyone want to go back to school.
