Phurniture (one of New York' most lauded destinations for 20th century art and design) 51 Things collects some of the rarest and most significant furniture, lighting, sculptures and decorative objects from the past 60 years under one vacant Toronto warehouse roof. Opening next week on 7 June 2006 and running through 15 July 2006, the 51 pieces in the show include works by such luminaries as Frank Lloyd Wright, George Nelson, and Carlo Mollino (his chairs are pictured above), as well as items by lesser-known artists and designers like Dennis Byng, Joe D'Urso, and Paul Evans. See works by these and other designers, along with a flyer and more info, after the jump.
