Shortly before Mirror 80 was born, I began a voracious search for ’80s fashion and interior design resources on the internet. I was soon delighted to find an extensive collection of ’80s art and design items at The 80’s Gallery, Katie Cobler and Ken McGavin’s online gallery featuring jewelry, lighting, original artwork and other amazing collectibles, from sculpture to pottery.
This is the good stuff–the high-quality pieces that have stood the test of time, the trophies from noteworthy ’80s design pioneers like sculptor Lindsey B, artist Patrick Nagel and members of the Memphis-Milano movement.
In addition to their online gallery, Ken and Katie write an 80’s Gallery blog, and they recently gave me the wonderful opportunity to be a guest blogger on the topic of ’80s lighting! Several of the images in the post feature amazing pieces available for purchase at The 80’s Gallery.

Thank you, Ken and Katie, for sharing your love of the ’80s with Mirror80!
