On April 10th, I stepped off the elevator on the 49th floor of the American Express Tower in Manhattan (after enduring a security check that would have impressed J. Edgar Hoover), and was warmly greeted by Todd Miller, vice president for AmEx’s General Counsel Office operations. We gravitated to a chic white sofa to chat about how AmEx’s GCO is embracing remote work options that emphasize collaboration and flexibility, and reduce real estate costs.
As Miller gave me a tour of the expansive floor, I experienced a pinch of deja vu. The vibrant, open milieu transported me back to my days in San Francisco, visiting friends whose homes were designed by Joseph Eichler. The architect’s work just about defines “California mid-century” his ubiquitous tract houses feature sharp geometric lines, floor-to-ceiling glass, and open spaces with patios and atriums. (I can almost smell the eucalyptus trees as I write.) Most owners furnished their homes with brightly colored, Scandinavian-influenced furniture.
