My favorite architect is collaborating with Tiffany's and has some really awesome jewelry designs out.
i'm sure nobody cares but i'm VERY excited....and I wish I had the money to buy them. :O

Nice stuff. Gehry is the shiznit. Tiffany, while a little overpriced, is a good jewelry investment.
You should rob a bank and go buy some T&Co/Gehry stuff. :texan:

i didnt' even see prices on their site--it's not available online until this summer. but i'm guessing it's more than i can afford.
I agree, some of their jewelry is really overpriced (some of it is pretty reasonable) but i think it's almost worth it. I mean, you could get the same sort of thing somewhere else, but i think the Tiffany designs are really exceptional.
There are some pieces from Tiffany's that i really love, but there are also some i don't care for at all.

am I the only one that thinks that Gehry isn't that great of a designer? He designs some crazy ****, but to me, the real art is how he gets people to pay him to:
1) pile up wet cardboard, scan it with a 3 dimensional scanner to make drawings and call it a masterpiece.
2) use high end finishes like chain link fence, plywood, etc... and get people to pay top dollar for it.
Don't get me wrong, he designs some crazy ****. I guess I'm just more analytical so I enjoy stuff like Calatrava and Gropius.

ok, I partially take back my statement above. He definitely has a lot of awesome projects, but man, I hate his stuff that's in the style of the Venice beach house.

I agree with you Andy. I like his stuff, but wow does he ever get overpaid.

there was a funny thing in the Onion a few years ago about "Frank Gehry packs his kids' lunch" and a couple pics of quartered sandwiches packed sideways at ascending angles and whatever.

Ladies, if you can't afford the jewelry, just get a Tiffany Box.:D

I like this building of his
http://www.guggenheim.org/exhibitions/past_exhibitions/gehry/images/projects/projects_images/nederland9_lg.jpg
But IMO he can't sit at IM Pei's drafting table. This is my favorite building, evar.

Gehry's buildings make me go 'WTF?'. Fountain Place by Pei is just absolutly beautiful

that first pic is kind of a Gaudi thing. i see IM Pei's NCAR almost every day. after 10 years it blows me away. from all kinds of places across town. it's really canny. i can't find a GIS pic that does it justice.

Hmm, Fountain Place is where slickwife will be working, hopefully, this summer.
It's an interesting building.
