Pentagram Adds Partners in New York and London

In a sign that the world may finally be emerging from the economic doldrums, design powerhouse Pentagram has welcomed new partners to its New York and London offices. Joining the fold stateside is Eddie Opara (at near right), whose arrival last month at Pentagram HQ was heralded with a Luke Hayman-designed banner and a gala gathering. Born in London and educated at the London College of Printing and Yale, Opara honed his diverse design skills at ATG, Imaginary Forces, and 2×4 before founding his own studio, The Map Office, in 2005.
