James Hart/Cooper-Hewitt

Fall is in full swing at the Cooper-Hewitt in October: First, Made to Scale offers a rare view of the largest collection of 19th-century French staircase models known outside of France. Averaging about 11 inches high and built from a gorgeous array of woods like walnut, pear, oak, ebony, and mahogany, these models were pre-CAD exercises for craftsmen to display their knowledge of cantilevering, balance, forms of rotation, and balusters styles. Second, the museum is inaugurating National Design Week; admission will be free all week, and the museum will host a panel discussion with National Design Award winners, including Thom Mayne, Michael Gabellini, and Paola Antonelli. The highly-anticipated 2006 National Design Awards will be announced at the gala on October 18, along with the first ever People’s Design Award, determined by an online voting system.
