I love the Cooper Hewitt Selects series. The Shadow puppet image above is from the current exhibition in the series, selected by Ideo. See also Hella Jongerius (selecting samplers) and Yinka Shonibare (selecting objects relating to travel). I saw the latter back in 2005 just the day before I was told my proposal for a project at the British Library had been accepted. The exhibition totally fired me up.
