[Alyson Kuhn] Michael Boyd, designer of the PLANEfurniture line, collects modernist furniture, art, architecture and design books, and ephemera.

Arianna Orland of Paper Jam Press recently took us on a tour of her virtual studio. Now we’re excited to welcome her as guest curator this week of Felt & Wire Shop.

Arianna believes that when you incorporate these elements, a little goes a long way — which shows in her own design. [MD]
