After a great deal of ink, sweat, and tears, it gives me great pleasure to announce that metrodeck has been chosen to be part of MoMA Design Store's Destination: NYC Collection.

The Destination: NYC product collection will be available in MoMA Design Stores in New York City, Tokyo and at MoMAstore.org, MoMAonlinestore.co.kr, and MoMAstore.jp beginning in May 2013 and running through August 2013.

Thanks to all the folks whose support and encouragement got me through months of after-hours and weekend printing, and to the subway commuters of NYC for unknowingly donating thousands of discarded MetroCards.

And of course, thanks to the fine city of New York for being the source of endless inspiration. It is truly a privilege to live in the greatest city in the world.

Stay tuned for updates and keep an eye out this Spring for the full collection.

Huzzah!
