LAMPS, A TEXTILE AND A LIGHTER AT THE DAM
You may have been asking yourself, "What's up with all the fucking chairs, man?" Fair enough. A break, at least for today, to call out these fine non-chair objects: Konstantin Grcic's Mayday Lamp for Flos; Lucienne Day's Runic Textile from 1959 (with Arne Jacobsen's Visor Table Lamp in front); and of course, George Blaisdell's Zippo Cigarette Lighter, designed in 1932 and fresh as the new day. In keeping with the theme of the week, these are all at the DAM as part of Darrin Alfred's What is Modern? show. The show will be up until at least late 2011, but why wait?
