May — 2018
Jim Walrod was an avid collector of post modern and contemporary art. Nicknamed ‘Furniture Pimp’ by Mike D of the Beastie Boys, clients worldwide—from David Bowie to André Balasz—sought his unparalleled expertise. Although Jim saw his role as a guide, aiding clients in finding their own distinct eye, it was his unique vision that shaped so many others.
Embracing the unconventional and weird, this catalog breaks free from the practical and often impersonal approach to modern design. Full of item pairings that spark exciting new dialogues, bold colors indicative of the PoMo movement, and random facts about design which Jim was notorious for whipping out mid-conversation. It is a true celebration of a man who collected everything and knew just as much.
