The Next Wave at Artisphere

The Next Wave: Industrial Design Innovation in the 21st Century at the Artisphere in Arlington is still on view through May 19. Several innovative and award-winning designs are represented. Whimsical, useful, colorful and thought-provoking. A mixture of materials, colors and functions. Some designers represented in the show: Marcel Wanders, Hella Jongerius, Sarah Morris, Christopher Roy, Patricia Urquiola, Clara von Zweigbergk, Scott Mason, Jasper Morrison, and some guy named Cristian Wicha. Oh wait, isn't he my woodworking/furniture design prof? Yes, he is! That's his amazing Flying Fish long board and molded plywood stool. Congratulations, Cristian.
