Last week’s episode of Mad Men—like the premiere—didn’t really merit a Design Geek Review. It wasn’t terribly fabulous, visually or otherwise. (I’m bored of the suburbs.) However, yesterday’s was wow! So here are some things that set this Design Geek’s heart racing last night: 1.&2. 3. 4.&5. 6. The Campbell [...]
