Heller is a sophisticated gallery in New York, specializing in the art of glass. It exhibits works by artists of striking originality, bent on improbable virtuosity. In its varied repertoire also appear detailed micro-scale architectures, real urban scale models for decorative use, leaning on slender metal tables. The faithful reproduction of skyscrapers, carved into the glass, almost like ice sculptures, combines the creations of Viviano Norwood, professor of 3D modelling and sculpture at the University of Allendale, to the souvenirs of Constantin Boym, revealing the common passion for miniaturization of these two unconventional creative artists.

The Moodboarders is a glance into the design world, which, in all of its facets, captures the extraordinary even within the routine. It is a measure of the times. It is an antenna sensitive enough to pick-up on budding trends, emerging talents and neglected aesthetics. Instead of essays, we use brief tales to tune into the rhythm of our world. We travelled for a year without stopping, and seeing as the memory of this journey has not faded, we have chosen to edit a printed copy. We eliminated anything episodic, ephemeral or fading, maintaining a variety of articles that flow, without losing the element of surprise, the events caught taking place, and the creations having just bloomed.
