Last Saturday’s gloomy LA weather sent us on an art inspiration day, museum hopping from LACMA to MOCA. Our favorite exhibit was LACMA’s California Design, 1930-1965: “Living in a Modern Way” and here’s a look at what caught our eye. To see more of our daily inspiration follow us on Instagram at foammag!
