This past weekend was probably the most eventful weekend for design in the history of California. In Monterey, there was a fantastic conference on architecture. In San Francisco, we had the World Design Congress which brings together the top industrial designers in the world to talk shop. What did I do? I went to Napa. Damn! But I did have a great time anyway.

Why am I tell you all of this and showing you a plate? That’s a sane question. The answer would be that I love this plate, and I have no good segue from one topic to another. This plate, of course, is an homage to the great Oscar Niemeyer and his monumental Brasilia, without a doubt the most sculptural capital in the world. The plate made by Bosa Ceramiche is in perfect proportion to the original congress building. So, if you are at all nostalgic for Brasilia, or you are looking for a fun way to embellish you dinner table in the ultimate of modernist edifices, then look no further and buy this piece of ceramic today.
