Fun Fact: Flounce was a commission for the 700 Central lofts in Northeast Minneapolis. The project was a huge restoration of an original building from the 19th century. McLeod & Smith, one of the earliest furniture manufacturers in Minneapolis, first constructed the building in 1897. The company was the largest upholstered furniture factory in the northwest by 1905, and used the building until 1938. Flounce is an upholstery term meaning a wide ornamental strip of material gathered and sewn to a piece of fabric.
