“There is nothing democratic about innovation. It is always an elite activity, whether by a recognized or unrecognized elite.”

The Voronoi shelf by Marc Newson. I wonder how much the finished piece weighs and how thick it is.

I wonder how much Unistrut they used…

A really nice little exhibition at the Goldstein. Interestingly, I found the dresses one of the more interesting aspects of the exhibition. Through 30.December.2011. Recommended.

Steuben comes to an end.

Agree with the uninspiring new designs assessment.
