okay…was this guy brilliant or what?
an industrial designer and unsung hero who worked for george nelson associates. by day mr. harper had a hand in designing some of the most iconic mid-century items for nelson and herman miller. all of these — clocks, marshmallow sofa — were credited to nelson and the firm.
but by night….harper made paper sculptures. ahhhhh….
harper’s sculptures recently set records at auction. who knew?
three words…believe the hype.
…and get the book for a non-frivolous summer beach read.
how have i just now come to discover this fabulous tome? i’ll take one. in fact, i’ll take a couple. the rake? yes, please.
arch one debonaire eyebrow and page cary grant or snidely whiplash.
new york fashion week is upon us…
if you read the byline of every other chic article, in every other chic magazine, you’ll note many are written by lynn yaeger. a contributing vogue fashion editor and possessor of fierce personal style.
i once ran into her in the most mundane of places…neiman marcus.
ms. yaeger marches to her own fashion drummer. she is unique. and what could possibly be more chic?
as much as my architectural heroes of the 80s and 90s were richard meier and shelton-mindel associates, i have switched my allegiance to deborah berke and annabelle selldorf. the twenty-first century architectural world is finally ready to receive these two uber talented ladies. they play with the big boys and look fabulous while doing so.
selldorf architects
deborah berke partners
the only question remaining is which do i choose to design my barbie dream home…
