Not too sure if it's my love for quirky toys or attraction to bright colours and patterns (like sparkles and magpies), but I've now got a slight obsession with this exhibition... THIS IS NOT A TOY: An exhibition at Design Exchange in Toronto, curated by John Wee Tom and DX Associate Curator Sara Nickleson with Guest Curator Pharrell Williams.

Friday Rainbows
