The February 10th issue of New York Magazine celebrates the publication's 40th Anniversary. In lieu of rubies, the staff presents a '68 version of the "Strategist" section, which includes a look at the late sixties apartment of art collectors on the Upper East Side (featuring Frank Stella's Protractor, above) and a shopping list for the home design aficionado of 1968...

love that super graphic
I grew up with that CorningWare! It's still a better design than the new ones they have now.
I love my CorningWare! I scored it at the school I used to work at. They were getting rid of a bunch of old dishes. Love, love, love them!
that egg chair looks like a tonsil.
also - the black/white printed fabric reminds me so much of a rug at Ikea... I think it's very similar if not exactly the same.
I love my Corning too. that was the first "cooking pot" I bought and it's still a favorite.
The coupe lamp shade and the laurel leaf mirror are probably still viable today.
