Artist Ingo Maurer’s Electric Table
If you haven’t made it up to the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum to check out Ingo Maurer’s majestic installation of nearly 40 years of engrossing, cutting-edge light design, book it uptown — you only have until Sunday! Above, a preview. Maurer’s Neon Table is a postmodern, neon-infused playpen for homogeneous miniatures and, might we add, quite the impressive coffee table. —Rachel Wolff
