To follow the International success we had with the Memphis Designers Collection, the next obvious step was to approach the best of the American Architects. We first went to Philip Johnson, who declined as he did not do decorative arts. But instead, he offered to put us in touch with the other architects that we wanted involved, as well as helping us curate the designs to produce. The entire collection shown was produced in 1986, and quantities are limited.
Current prices are determined by scarcity and the remaining quantity of each design. Prices will continue to increase as less remain. With some designs with very few remaining, as one sells, the price may increase as much as double, or more, for the remaining pieces.
