This undated photo provided by the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum shows pieces of a collection of bold and blindingly bright beaded creatures dubbed "Afreaks." The pieces, in which feelings of joy and possibility seem almost palpable, are by the Los Angeles based Haas Brothers, in collaboration with the Haas Sisters, a group of artists from South Africa. The collection is part of the exhibit "Beauty - Cooper Hewitt Design Triennial," an exhibit at the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum in New York and offers visitors the chance to take a good long look at the state of contemporary design, offering eye-popping works from around the globe and hinting at where things seem to be headed. The exhibit runs through Aug. 21. (Joe Kramm, R & Company/Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum via AP)
