Times being the way they are (I’m tired of saying that, but times obstinately remain the way they are) it is encouraging to find SF20, arguably the West Coast’s premier modern design fair, previewing last night and open to the public through Sunday, going from strength to strength. In its third year under the management of Dolphin Promotions, Fort Mason’s 
Festival Pavilion has rarely looked so, well, sexy, and, no, it wasn’t my four vodkas on the rocks, refreshing though they were. Our friends at Hedge as usual installed a stunning display.
As impressed as I was with their install last year, I have to say the continuing efforts of Roth Martin and designer/partner Steven Volpe continue to astound.
That said, there was plenty else around to delight, including the offerings from our Los Angeles friends Dragonette and first time exhibitor but modernist stalwart, New York based Todd Merrill Antiques. 
Speaking of delights- Rachel Prater, you never looked lovelier! Always where the design action is, Rachel’s Danish Silver USA will be an exhibitor in just a few weeks time at the San Francisco Fall Antiques Show.
SF20 will run through Sunday at the Festival Pavilion at San Francisco’s Fort Mason.
