Today’s post — about the history of palm trees and palm fronds in design — was written my dear friend and fellow Smithie, Angela Serratore. Angela writes about design and history for many esteemed publications, including Dwell, The New York Times, The Strategist, Lapham’s, and others. Follow her on Twitter (x?), here.
