Andy Warhol would have turned 80 on Wednesday. Here's something you may not know about him.

That's where he would toss all the ephemera that passed by his desk—the photographs, newspaper clippings, fan letters, business and personal correspondence, source images for artwork, telephone messages,...

Design inspiration can come from multiple sources. One of the furniture sets in La Furniture, a contemporary furniture store reminded me of a piece of art in the form of furniture from the Andy Warhol museum in Pittsburgh.
