If you can make it there, you'll make it anywhere - New York for lots of things, but the MoMA for the pinnacle of modern art and design. The most important culture-shifting moments in modern art have gone down at NYC's Museum of Modern Art (no city necessary in this acronym) and it's no surprise that Its stellar in-house line of design goods for home reflects that. Elegant wares by a roster of important designers make up the institution's lovable line of thoroughly modern wares - from lamps to vases, holiday items to bowls.
ITEM WE LOVE
Grab your coat and get your haaaaat, leave your worries on the doorstep. You'll have no problem inhabiting that energetic, sunny side of the street when this knockout rack of hooks by Natalie Du Pasquier is there to hold your stuff at the ready. Du Pasquier is the widely revered Milan-based artist, sculptor, and (youngest) founding member of the Memphis Group in 1981 whose motto was "form follows fun." Design, symmetry, color, and joy come to play in this fine, useful example of her work.
