Maya Lin Stones


Maya Lin Stones were introduced in 1998 to celebrate Knoll's 60th Anniversary, it's roots in the Bauhaus, and the middle ground between art and design. They celebrate Lin's love for the land and when one discovers the earth is round; exploring it to find the curve. Molded of polyethylene and 100% recycled product, they come in a variety of colors for outdoor or indoor use. I found a pair in blue to use in and around the barns here where the big barn roof is "slate blue". Maya Lin is well known for her design of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington DC, selected while a freshman at Yale. She is presently installing two grand commissions adjacent to the new Lewis Center for the Arts Complex at Princeton University.
