D/R Love


Much online excitement about the D/R exhibition, opening tomorrow. I am heading up to Cambridge tomorrow to attend and very happy to meet the many D/R staff I interviewed for the book. I expect the party-goers will be wearing Marimekko, as Jane Thompson and Sheila McCullough do in the image above, by Elsa Dorfman.

In the Boston Globe.

On the T Moment blog.

On the Dwell blog.
