 | | Schlumberger unveiled this beloved design in his salon at Tiffany & Co. in 1965. With a flair for the dramatic, he slowly opened the lid of a blue velvet box to reveal the brooch, said to be inspired by a yellow cockatoo he once encountered on vacation. The mere notion of a cheeky little bird perched on an astonishingly large gemstone caused a delightful stir among all who were present. | | | | | | |

 | | Fashion meets function with a dose of Fellini-esque drama in Luigi Massoni's iconic 1968 design. The modular, barrel-shaped piece consists of a chair and a vanity (complete with a folding mirror) that fit together in a space-saving cylindrical shape. Originally upholstered in leather, the vanity had a stylized, almost sensual silhouette that made it a fixture of mid-century bedroom furnishings. | | | | | | |

 | | Taking its name from the French word for “bathtub,” Cartier’s Baignoire watch is famous for its ellipse-shaped face, which stands in contrast to the French maison’s military-inspired Tank watch. Louis Cartier, the grandson of founder Louis-François Cartier, created the timepiece and gifted it to his patron, the Grand Duchess Pavlovna of Russia. In 1957, the Baignoire became part of the Cartier repertoire and was offered in a variety of metals and sizes. | | | | | | |

 | | Swiss figurative painter Nicolas Party burst onto the scene in 2013 with Landscape, a public mural set on a massive garden wall in Glasgow. The installation, with its bright colors, was inspired by artist David Hockney’s paintings of the rolling Yorkshire Dales. In his 2021 work Sunset, Party sees his pastoral subject through a fantastical lens, with ordinary objects transformed into abstract shapes. This powerful landscape reflects the inevitable passage of time — and asks viewers to retreat from their daily minutiae. | | | | | | |

 | | In 1951, Noguchi was on holiday in Japan and observed a traditional nighttime festival in which fishermen use cormorants to help them catch fish. Each of their boats was equipped with a chochin lantern to light its way, which caught the eye and imagination of the artist and designer. He began reproducing them in 1952 using traditional methods that required stretching bamboo ribbing across molded wood forms, then gluing washi paper (made from the bark of the mulberry tree) to the inside and outside of the frame. | | | | | | |
