Hope you all had a great 4th!! Mine was a blast, even though we didn't see fireworks...
Anyhow, last week I was invited to the Jonathan Adler's office here in NYC & finally met the man himself. I remember how much of an inspiration he was for me when I first started my business.... I've always been attracted to his design aesthetic & even have his Meurice lamp in my apartment, it's even lovelier in person by the way! The place was huge - with an entire showroom & all employees were allowed to bring their little doggies to work, how cute!
On another note, Jonathan recently finished a collaboration with Pepsi on these cute red, white & blue biodegradable straws... you can actually see them in this post! They ended up giving me a pack, which I used for my 4th of July dinner party. I'll post those pics soon too!

ReplyDeleteI too loved the manifesto, and was shocked to read he'd never won any awards for his designs - crazy or what?!
I think there's something missing in his store though - your paintings;)
