Relief Chair is Added to Cooper Hewitt's Permanent Collection
Mickus Projects celebrates the addition of the Relief Chair to the Permanent Collection of the Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum in Manhattan.
Their collection is international in scope, including both historic and contemporary design, and extends from one-of-a-kind to mass-produced items.
The Relief Chair falls into the museum’s curatorial department of Product design, but the collection also includes the holdings of the Museum’s Library, Archives, and three other curatorial departments: Drawings, Prints, and Graphic Design; Textiles; and Wallcoverings. Designers seeking inspiration for new product lines draw ideas from the diversity of the collection. Scholars and students exploring the history of design use the collection as a primary resource. Writers seeking historical authenticity refer to them for firsthand experience of objects. Collectors—novice and seasoned—use the collection to expand their understanding and develop their expertise.
