Architecturally Inspired at SFMOMA...

To celebrate the recent opening of the new SFMOMA expansion after three years of construction, we're sharing a favorite piece of wearable sculpture, inspired by renderings of the addition and renovation of the iconic building by Snohetta.

Created by San Francisco designer and friend Vanessa Gade, the LINEA necklace is a beautiful minimalist interpretation of architectural massing, with the silver sculptural form representative of the building structure and the oxidized chain following the lines of the new terraces.
