Current Obsessions: The Artful Life

Take a look at what’s on our radar this week:

• This past week, Alexa moved from SF to NYC. First stop: the Noguchi Museum in Long Island City, Queens.
• If you’re in LA today, don’t miss Modernica’s 25th Anniversary Sale to shop in-person or shop from home with discount code “factorysale” through Sunday, June 8.
• Did your favorite designer make Elle Decor’s 2014 A-List?
• Five contemporary artists take their art outdoors.
• Meredith, a Washington state native, is reminiscing about summers by the lake with this roundup of 10 Tiny Lake Houses.

• In the span of 25 days, artist Jacob Hashimoto created 30,000 unique paper shapes. The exhibit, Gas Giant, is on display at MOCA in Los Angeles until next weekend. 
• Every living room needs a great coffee table book (or two, or three).
  
• Dalilah can’t decide if she wants to wear this hoop brush as a bracelet or hang it next her desk. 
• We’re happy to see Kaufmann Mercantile’s blog post on the importance of spending more while buying less.
