52 ART + DECORATION W e've been shopping the dis- creet white-glove furnishings consignment service Viyet since it launched in 2013. Now, Houston de- signers, collectors and showrooms can sell on the lavish site, a coveted resource for designers and design lovers to buy and sell pre-owned top-of the-line furniture, decorative objects, lighting, rugs, wall- paper and panels, screens, mantels and mirrors, sculpture, ceramics, paintings, photography, and works on paper — new, vintage, and antique. Viyet has appointed Take It Away, Jeeves I n the 1960s, Palm Beach potter Dodie Thayer's Lettuce Ware canapé and luncheon plates, cups, and bowls were the rage and appeared on every hostess' table from Palm Beach to Amagansett. C. Z. Guest, the Duchess T alk about light and space. Last summer, Puerto Rican- raised, L.A.-based Gisela Colon appeared in "Radiant Space" at McClain Gallery — and stole the show from senior talents such as Larry Bell and her mentor, De Wain Valentine. Now Colon's back, making her Texas solo debut in the aptly titled "Atmospheres," again at McClain Gallery (through June 17). It's an in- depth look at what the art world needs for the mission to Mars: curvaceous space capsules. These wall-mounted sculptures effervesce with light effects, due to special surface treatments that shimmer across and within each blow- molded acrylic pod. Colon is also the subject of a multi-year traveling museum solo now on view at the Museum of Arts and Sciences, Macon, Georgia (through August 13), that touches down in December in Texas as the San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts. Collect her buoyant vessels for the future, and you'll be as close to interplanetary orbit as a SpaceX mission or the next NASA launch. Catherine D. Anspon BLAST OFF Lettuce SERVE YOU Mia Smith as local curator in Houston to work alongside clients to seamlessly sell single pieces and collections of inventory. The process could not be simpler: Smith visits the seller, vets the inventory, then photographs and lists the pieces. On a recent browse of the Viyet site, we found pristine Tommi Parzinger, Knoll, Jean de Merry, B&B Italia, Christian Liaigre, Mies van der Rohe, Eero Saarinen, John Rosselli, Maison de Bagues, and Holly Hunt, all at a fraction of retail. viyet.com. Anne Lee Phillips of Windsor, and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis were avid collectors — and later, so was Tory Burch. Mining eBay for the originals turned up precious few, so Burch and Thayer collaborated to meticulously recreate the iconic green Lettuce Ware, launched as Dodie Thayer for Tory Burch in 2013. Now the Lettuce Ware is in vivid white, delicately cast in the same lettuce-leaf shapes, hand-finished and glazed. Set of four canapé plates $88, set of two dinner plates $100, Lettuce Ware pitcher $148, at the Tory Burch boutique, toryburch.com.
