Design Royalty

Sunday, at the AD 20/21 show at Boston's Cyclorama, I had a marvelous conversation with design Royalty charmers, husband and wife Vladimir Kagan and Erica Wilson. She was delighted I recalled her fascinating needlework show on WGBH. We talked about her books, videos and kits. We petted and posed with Bonsai, my buddy/colleague, Peter Levis' (Beyond Gorgeosity's) dachschund. Mr Kagan, vibrant and tanned, graciously dispensed business and design advice as he autographed his catalogue. An inspiring half hour!

The show itself had great exhibitors, including Greg Nanamura, Cara Antiques and Christopher Anthony soon to be relocating to Palm Springs.

Great design is alive and well in spite of this economy and it was great to see such a turn out.

HIgh Drama in a low drama town

Last month I got a call from a man named Peter who was referred by a client named Jeff who said, "I think you two might get along," meaning he saw our collections of antiques and my design as being what he termed in conservative New England speak, "different".

Check out Beyond Gorgeosity. Peter arrived with an amazing collection of mid century furniture great accessories as well as a plethora of knowlege and affinity for the designs of the great artisans and designers of the Twentieth Century.
