DESIGNinTELL: DESIGN & ARCHITECTURE

July 4th Edition

To commemorate the holiday, VandM rounded up the best of what our country has to offer.  Take a break from the fireworks and barbecues and celebrate our best American tradition – shopping!  From American inspired art to furniture and collectibles made here at home, the variety within this collection reflects our melting pot heritage.


Peter Max’s acrylic on serigraph pop art rendition of Lady Liberty represents the many possible faces of an American symbol.

Lest we forget America’s true natives, this Anasazi pottery bowl reminds us of our Native American roots.

Maintaining a Native American theme is easy with this vintage Navajo silver turquoise cuff bracelet.  You might find a piece like this at Urban Outfitters, but rest assured that the Navajos were the first American trendsetters.

This Bakelite and rhinestone USA brooch definitely lacks subtlety but makes for the perfect patriotic piece.

Bearing resemblance to Archie Bunker’s famous recliner, this pair of 1940s American wing chairs would look great in any living room.

Handcrafted from wrought iron, this cobra table lamp is a one-of-a-kind piece from the American Gothic period.

This airplane pedal car is perfect for the adventurous child in all of us.

Who can resist a New York City hotdog?  This Sabrett street vendor cart from the early 1900s pays homage to this timeless American delicacy.

Perhaps once found in David Bowie’s living room, this Lucite Z table harkens to 1980s decadence.

This copper whale weathervane invokes our proud American country atmosphere.
