Design Life Now: National Design Triennial

ICA Boston, West Gallery September 28th 2007 - January 6th 2007

After weeks of sneaking a peek behind the construction curtains at work, my coworkers and I get to enjoy this amazing experience: an exciting new show. 81 Artists/Designers are featured with displays of some of the best American design made in the last three years. Micheal Meredith's thick walls of "cubbies" showcase architectural models, dresses, furniture, toys, graphic design and a submarine of sorts!

One of my favorite pieces is Charlie Lazor's conception of Up! House, a company that makes prefabricated homes that you can order online. You finish some design choices when ordering and they deliver it to your plot of land. It's like ordering a car.

See for yourself.
