The best of classic modern design shares the spotlight with cutting-edge contemporary works from around the world. Fittingly, the most popular works from the week (based on our users’ Favorites) represent a mashup of tradition and experimentation. Think a grandfather clock with a digital clockmaster inside, continuously erasing and redrawing the hands; unique vessels made in impossibly delicate glass and ceramic; or a glass table set atop a reference to 1960s Pop Art. Even the winning mid-century works by Jean Prouvé and Maria Pergay appear to be light years ahead of their time.
