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...
Read about the apartment above in Welcome to Our Stella. Below, are the home furnishings from the 1968 Shopping Guide...
Joe Colombo’s Coupé 1158 lamp shade.
Bell's Trimline phone. We had one of these growing up! (I think my parents still have it!)
Alexander Girard's “Checker Split” fabric.
Ettore Sottsass' “Nefertiti” desk.
Peter Ghyczy’s Garden Egg Chair.
Curtis Jere's laurel leaf mirror.
The newest shape from CorningWare!
Check out ALL the products highlighted from 1968 in the Shopping Guide.

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.
