CDL Selects is a complement installation to the nationally traveling exhibition, The Art of Seating: 200 Years of American Design. Drawn solely from the design collection of the Columbia Museum of Art, CDL Selects contains over 60 exceptional examples of 20th-century design in a variety of media forms-seating furniture, tables, lamps, and related decorative arts; sculpture; industrial design and in a variety of media, including ceramics, glass, and metal. Board members of the membership affiliate, Columbia Design League, selected the objects and wrote the accompanying label copy, stating why it is was selected as an example of good design. CDL Selects is the first exhibition to focus extensively on CMA's design collection and is the first exhibition organized in collaboration with the Columbia Design League.
