When Beacon Capital Partners decided to redesign the lobby of its buildings In New York City and Boston, it enlisted the services of ESI Design, which was tasked with coming up with a concept that would appeal to multiple tenants and reflect the surrounding neighborhood. The result was an elegant design including marble walls and a series of videos and generative infographics capturing stock market info and local news, all displayed via LED screens that run across the lobby. Xignite provides data for the Dow Jones Industrial, Transportation, and Utilities Averages.

2. On a private jet
