The Heirloom Collection, as she named the project, would consist of products inspired by treasures in the Met\u2019s Islamic Art Department and would be created by artisanal Makers in countries such as Morocco, Turkey, and India. Since I was a boy I have loved art, history, and adventure, and I would experience all three on my visits to the Met. It was exciting to have the opportunity to rummage through that great collection, seeking inspiration from which to collaborate in creating new works for today\u2019s contemporary lifestyle.
