Bill Curry / Design Line
June 6th and 7th, Reform Gallery will be showing the works of designer William "Bill" Curry at the Parachute Market sale in downtown Los Angeles.
In 1962, Bill Curry and his wife Jackie founded the El Segundo-based company Design Line Incorporated, for which Bill created innovative lamps and furnishings. Design Line's first lamp, the Stemlite, was wildly popular at the time of its introduction; it was the first lamp to eliminate the base-plus-shade concept and therefore exist as a single piece. Curry's subsequent items for Design Line include the Cattail Lamp, the smaller Lolite Lamp, and the multifunctional Honeycomb Module, which can be used as seating, as a display surface, or as a coffee table. Curry-designed items will include a Cattail Lamp, Honeycomb Modules, Stemlite lamps and original paintings by Curry himself courtesy of his son, Eric, and his estate.

Eames / Ostroff
Eames talk and signing with Daniel Ostroff for his book, An Eames Anthology. The event was hosted by Boomerang for Modern.
Ostroff's presentation included a photo of the pet octopus at the Eames Office when they were working on a proposal with Kevin Roche, John Dinkeloo & Associates for a National Aquarium in Washington D.C. The aquarium project was funded, but President Nixon pulled the plug. Now I know why they called him Tricky Dick. He is officially my least favorite President. Charles should have socked him for that move. Daniel signed my book.
