An Eye For Detail

A Visit to MAD

I went recently into New York to see the new Museum of Arts and Design at 2 Columbus Circle. What an experience! It is truly wonderful and a must see for anyone involved in the visual arts. The current exhibit: Second Lives: Remixing the Ordinary is fascinating. The vinyl records, the plastic forks, the ancient Chinese water vessels, the fine china from German factories, the spools of thread: all these items, and many more, have found a second life. 

The second exhibit: Elegant Armor: The Art of Jewelry is equally wonderful (especially for those of us addicted to all forms of jewelry!). And, be aware that you are allowed to open all the drawers under the glass cases!

This is day one. 

Who are we? Where are we going? What are we doing? 

I am Libby Wilkie of LW Associates.

I am a design fanatic. Design is everywhere. We will visit, over time, many of the places I have found some of my most interesting and inspiring ideas. I won't be posting every day, but will post as time permits. Certainly after travels, whether to a museum in New York, to the wine country in California, or even a "sighting" from a local retailer..... I will let you know the news!

P.S. This is (a small) part of my garden. You will be seeing more of this!
