COLLECTIBLE ’25
FOR COLLECTIBLE I APPROACHED DESIGN FROM TWO PERSPECTIVES — AS BOTH A CURATOR OF THE VIGNETTE SECTION AND AS A PARTICIPANT. INSTEAD OF FOCUSING ONLY ON CONTEMPORARY, WE MIXED IT UP— NEW WITH VINTAGE AND PRISTINE WITH IMPERFECT —BECAUSE THAT’S HOW PEOPLE ACTUALLY LIVE. NOT EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE FRESHLY LACQUERED.
MY OWN VIGNETTE ALLOWED ME TO EXPRESS THIS PHILOSOPHY PERSONALLY —I PRESENTED VINTAGE CHAIRS BY STARCK AND CITTERIO WITH WORKS BY SAMANTHA MCCURDY, KIKI GOTTI, ARMADILLO AND VAUGHN DAVIS JR. ALL OF IT CAME TOGETHER AGAINST THE MOODY BACKDROP OF FARROW AND BALL’S LONDON CLAY.
