We asked some of our favorite contemporary artists to share their design picks with us. From a lightning bolt shelf to the Park Avenue Armory, here’s what they had to say. BY REBECCA KLEINMAN
AARON YOUNG
“The design collaboration Save Our Souls’ Drops lamp in black glass shaped like an oil drop, lightning bolt shelving and explosion table. The company was founded the year of the tsunami, so I’m excited to see their future interpretations of earthquakes and hurricanes.”

“I heart Nathalie Karg’s Cumulus Studios, especially Jim Drain’s vibrantly colored benches made from grab bars that radiate shiny, sparkly DayGlo joy. I can imagine only a rainbow of happy emotions while sitting on them.”
