American Modern
by Thomas O'Brien
$50.00, signed copy

American Modern is an inspiring design volume that will redefine the way you think about modern interiors.  Not only should you buy one for your library but this is the perfect gift for any design oriented friend.  

 

Below is a partial editorial review of the book that I can't help but completely agree with!

 Designer and merchant, collector and tastemaker, Thomas O’Brien has made a career of translating cool notions of modernism into an easy and generous array of modern styles that anyone can attain. Now he introduces readers to a range of those styles—from casual to formal, vintage to urban—alongside stunning photography and charming design stories.  Important design principles such as architectural authenticity, color relationships, correctness of scale, and informed collecting are threaded through a practical narrative that reads like a master class in interior design.

The AERO Tray is the first of five items that I believe are undeniably AERO.  The tray has been a staple for over 18 years.  Originally designed to hold tissue paper at the Spring St. location the trays have evolved into an item for everyday, for everyone.  The off center elliptical shaped cutouts offer a modern solution for the often neglected handle.
