Roundup: Modern Holiday Decor

by on Dec 6, 2010

The holidays are approaching, but many of us haven’t even found the time to dust off the old classics from our basements and attics, let alone research the latest in contemporary holiday decor. But as always, Curbly is here to help. Here are plenty of options that’ll add a modern touch to the traditional holiday season. 

ORNAMENTS

“Love” is a sculpture by American artist Robert Indiana. The image was originally designed as a Christmas card for the Museum of Modern Art in 1964, and first exhibited as a sculpture in New York City in 1970. Here is a miniature version of the modern sculpture sold as an ornament from Urban Outfitters.
