Workstead debuted the collection inside Johnson's Modernist residence, which he built for himself in New Canaan, Connecticut in 1949, for a day-long display this week. The studio chose the location because it referenced the work of Johnson, and his modernist contemporaries including Mies Van der Rohe and Le Corbusier, for the series.
