On Monday, I received a surprise package from London. Last week, my mother had visited Harrods while on business overseas and stumbled upon the April issue of the store's magazine called 'Design Icons.' She mailed it to Florida with the magazine wrapped in the store's signature dark olive bag. As I paged through the iconic designs from the twentieth century — the Swiss Army Knife, the Coca-Cola contour bottle, Wright's Fallingwater, I couldn't help but reflect on the new British currency. The magazine confirmed my initial sentiments — it is already iconic, and it is only a month old.
