Vanity Fair: Where One Design Guru Surfs
Paul Warwick Thompson might not be an Internet junkie—he spends only a few hours a day online—but he knows a well-designed Web site when he sees one. That's because Thompson, 45, is the director of the Smithsonian's New York City–based Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum, the only museum in the United States exclusively devoted to design…
Given his credentials, it's no surprise that Thompson has an eye for innovative Internet sites. He thinks Josh Rubin's Cool Hunting, a site about inspiring objects, is a must-click "for the less cerebral, more amusing trend-spotting and product-spotting information."
