Caught the Greater New York show at PS1, specifically to catch this fantastic collection of objects from Kiosk’s 10 years of curated goods from around the world. This shop makes me think of a different NYC, when soho still had some of its grit, late nights were full of possibilities and this tiny shop was an unexpected find at the top of dark stairs.
The show at PS1 ends March 7, so hurry if you’re in or near NYC. If you can’t make it, the show features each object with a number. To hear a description of the object, you can call 646-693-3590 and enter the number when prompted. You can also text surf to KIOSK.PR.TL and enter the number when prompted.

The Thing Quarterly is a publication in form of an object. Different artists present objects for each issue, and this zoetrope umbrella by Kota Ezawa caught my eye. I imagine Gene Kelly would approve.

Kudos to Brendan Ravenhill’s studio for creating their very own LED lightbulb, perfecting the exposed thread filament aesthetic and keeping compliant with California’s lightbulb regulations. Available here in clear, frosted and the ever classic half-chrome.
This bulb pairs with the Cord Lamp, which was the soft lighting addition to a dark corner in my apartment. See that perfect cord length, dangling just over the floor into the outlet? That was no happy accident, as Brendan shortened the length of mine before shipping in its ingenious packaging. No details left unconsidered.
These playing cards by the one and only Susan Kare are so witty and wonderful. Susan Kare designed the icons for the first operating system on the Mac.
And she designed the actual Solitaire game that you’ve likely played on a Windows 3.0, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary. Unplug with your own set from Areaware.

Contemporary artist Adam Buick takes on a body of work based on the Korean moon jar, an imperfect pot that I spotted way back here at The British Museum. Own your very own imperfection pot, via the School of Life.
