Rebeca Méndez Selects

^{Zuber & Cie, Sidewall, 1905–13.}

The 17th installation in the series that invites designers, artists, writers, and cultural figures to explore and respond to the permanent collection. The 2012 National Design Award winner for Communication Design, Méndez draws connections across the diverse collections of Cooper Hewitt, the National Museum of Natural History, and the Smithsonian Libraries to explore how culture, design, technology, and the natural world have converged.
