“"I simply loved this pitcher because the colors reminded me of Black Orpheus." - Jalil Johnson”

“"What are the origins of this glam gal? I’m not sure. But I am taking a page from her epic pearl necklace stacking. We should do this with ALL variations of necklaces. So chic." - Liana Satenstein”

“"There definitely needs to be a scavenger hunt for all the claw footed furniture that the Met has in storage... Surely I'm not the only person who would be interested in knowing the exact amount. To all the designers out there, PLEASE bring this detail back. I'm begging on my knees!" - Sydney Gore”

“"Our Met visit really took me back to my school field trip days! I remember visiting the museum in high school with my French class, and doubled over laughing with friends at stupid jokes. Today felt like the more grown up version! There were so many great finds in the visible storage room including a pair of large scale fish still life paintings, and the many, many silver trophy plates, but my favorite of them all was the quirky double-sided screen simply titled: “Porcupines” and “Nightmare” (one name for each side of the screen) by Robert Winthrop Chanler. The visible storage room has a great digital interface that usually provides a little info blurb about each piece when you type in the item code, but this screen didn’t have any info and I love that mystery and that we have no idea with the artist decided to pair these two things together. Maybe I was drawn in by the two-for-one deal? I also love how the display case itself was reworked with the center removed to ensure both sides of the screen were visible to visitors; a true exercise in what this room is meant to accomplish!" - Zach Weiss”
