objects usa is "a unique collective founded by three San Diego enthusiasts that combines in-depth research with examples of mid-century art and design."

When they have their occasional shows at Ronis & Associates, I love going and slowly, slowly looking at every last thing. The red enamel peice on the top left corner by Kay Whitcomb completely stole my heart at the last show.
