We call NY home, but a part of my heart will always be in California. It’s where we went to school and where I recently was lucky enough to stumble upon an exhibit of California design at LACMA that blew my mind. If you can’t get to LA in the next few weeks there’s a catalog that’s well worth the loot.

This exhibit came to my attention because of a video that went viral of Ice Cube dropping science on the Eames, directed by Dave Meyers and produced by the kings of content @radical.media.
