I have always been an Avedon fan, but after viewing his new exhibit at the SFMOMA "Richard Avedon: Photographs: 1946-2004," I look at the iconic photographer in a new light. A raw, intense, emotional spotlight.
New York-born Avedon was an integral part of fashion in the '60s — you probably recognize Twiggy's hair and Dovima with elephants.

So, if you hated that matching doggie 'brella set, there may be times when you don't want to pull on a parka, but don't want to get wet either. If your dog's half as crazy as mine (scratch that, a quarter), this product would come in handy . .

Molo's Softseating ($130- $2,390) is made entirely from kraft paper with 50% recycled content. The paper is cut into a honeycomb-like structure that flexes to fan open into stools, benches and loungers. Not only is it flexible, it's versatile and compact; you can compress it like a book for easy storage.

Wooden toys are oh so popular these days so I was delighted to find some fun for mom and dad to play with, too. MUJI, a Japanese based company, manufactures a unique set of blocks – cities in a bag. For $14, fans of the big apple can buy New York City in a Bag and get the Chrysler Building, Statue of Liberty, Guggenheim Museum, the original MoMA buildings, and six cars.

I wouldn't say the KarrySafe Phone Pouch ($12), looks like something you'd see the trendy BlackBerry fanatics on The Hills carrying on Melrose, but I do see its practical purposes. According to the MoMA the cases were "thoughtfully designed to deter common-criminal techniques like pick pocketing and bag snatching, these street-safe features include secure closures, locks, alarmed-breakaway straps, impact padding, and durable slash-resistant and waterproof materials." What do you think of them?

Architect Jean Nouvel has been commissioned by an international real estate developer, Hines, to design a tower adjacent to the Museum of Modern Art in Midtown Manhattan, which will house a hotel, luxury apartments and three floors that will be used by MoMA to expand its exhibition space. The MoMA sold the lot to Hines earlier this year for $125 million, but insisted on veto power over the architect Hines would choose. The choice is certainly a bold one, which is a bit hair-raising considering the amount of money at stake.
