Dad sent a page from the WSJ

I thought this was really funny because I was looking at Ruhlmann when I was designing the Lingerie Chest.  Thanks Dad!  The article on Ruhlmann talks about a new book that has just come out on him.  He is one of my favorite designers.  He was designing these pieces in the beginning of the 20th century, “a time when furniture makers were kings.”

Here’s a link to that article pictured below:  All Hands on Art Deco

The Ruhlmann’s black liquor cabinet with the wood burl doors at the top of the page next to the picture of his face sold for $2.1 million at a recent auction according to the article.  Whoa.

On the other side of the page was a blurb on what was going to be at the Milan Furniture Fair--very designer-y.   Here’s a link to that article:  The Furniture Frontline
