In 2005, Reform put together an incredible exhibition on California Design.  Both floors of the gallery  were filled with items that were shown at the  Pasadena Museum of Art's California Design exhibitions.  Not only were there amazing objects, but Sam Maloof, Otto Natzler, Otto Hieno, The Ackermans,  Harrison McIntosh and many other of the artists and designers were there at the opening. It was a big deal.   Claremont Clay- Harrison McIntosh and Rupert Deese  California Design 10 Banner Martin Bornstein for Brown Satlman and Evelyn Ackerman- A recreation of a photo from California Design 5 Ackermans I wish these Doyle Lane clay paintings were still around Billy Curry for Design Line
