There was an article in the New York Times over the weekend, Design Loves a Depression, that has us thinking a little more optimistically about the hard times hitting us all now. It claims that the best design happened during depression — think Eames, Russel Wright and you get their point. And we are the first to admit that design has gotten a little, dare we say frivolous lately (like a Hercules stool, for example) but sometimes a little whimsy is a welcome thing. We hope it doesn’t disappear completely. Don’t get us wrong — great design at low prices? If that’s what lies ahead for us, than finally, that’s news we’re happy to hear!
