Fun, With a Purpose!

At Home with Ozzie and Harriet (AZ Republic article) is an exhibit on '50s design that just opened here at the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art. It was inspired by a bunch of items Christopher and I donated to the museum. The focus was more nostalgic than we hoped, but otherwise it was a handsomely presented show. The highlight, for us, was an entire wall of colorful Lifetime Plastic dinnerware credited to designer Jon Hedu. We believe this is the first time Hedu's name has been used in a museum - at least not since The Museum of Modern Art included Hedu's dinnerware in a 1947 modern design exhibit.
Pictured are cups from Russel Wright's line of miniaturized American Modern dinnerware, done in plastic as kids' dishes. Cute, eh?
