"collab is a collaboration of design professionals supporting the modern and contemporary design collections at the philadelphia museum of art. a volunteer committee founded in 1970, collab is dedicated to enriching the museum’s collections with outstanding examples of mass-produced and unique designs, and to making the collections accessible to the general public, students, and the design community."
every year, collab sponsors a student design competition based on their design excellence award recipient... this time around was george jensen, a silversmith of yore whose company still thrives today. utilizing the theme "intelligent ornament," entries from all along the east coast were evaluated. some pretty amazing stuff, that. favorites include a ring that decomposes over time, a subcutaneous brooch, and a woven metal headscarf. winners and other selections are on display alongside jensen's work from now until the end of march... enjoy!

sidebar- while my gps/pendant necklace didn't win the judges hearts (aww so sad), my presentation board apparently showed some merit: it's in daffy's art window. :)
