What: Divine Details is an exhibit & store, curated in collaboration
between AIGA (the world's largest professional design association) and
downtown boutique design studio Little Fury. Housed in AIGA's gallery in
the heart of the Flatiron district, Divine Details will feature some of
the worlds most beautiful and well-crafted common goods; from the
perfect bottle-opener, to a shatterless crystal wine glass, to the most
fashionable and functional tote for your CitiBike. The 33 showcased
designer products are each accompanied by an original fictional story
inspired by each object, commissioned from some of New York's most
acclaimed writers, including music writer Garnette Cadogan (Rolling
Stone, The New Yorker, Vibe), Brooklyn food blogger Cathy Erway (The Art
of Eating In, Eater's Top 10), and playwright Bekah Brunstetter
(OOHRAH!, MTV's Underemployed). In addition to daily store hours, the
exhibition will also host a series of interactive events entitled;
Further Details; focusing on design's relationship to food, music, and
story.
