Murray says his iStream system involves using composite plastic panels made by injection molding which are screwed or bolted onto a frame made of tubular steel. In the U.S., he says, the frames and molded panels could be made at one central plant, while the assembly could be done at smaller plants near distributors, which means fewer cars being trucked long distances...

And nobody believes anymore that good design can produce a more virtuous world. But all those steadfast geometric tea sets and tubular steel furnishings drew lines in the collective consciousness.
