The program Collecting Design: History, Collections, Highlights, made it to the list of the 25 most important events in art, design, architecture, fashion, and everything in between. The fall edition will begin on October 15th and will take place at the Center for Architecture; registration is open now.
I will be hosting some of the most intriguing and dynamic experts in the world of design. In the fall, the list of guest speakers include:
My mentor and teacher Derek Ostergard will speak about Viennese modern design, the innovation of the Wiener Werkstätte, and the earliest collectors; Dr. Robert Aibel on Connoisseurship in George Nakashima’s furniture; David Scott on the curated interior and on selecting the right collectible objects; James Zemaitis on the recent season and on collectible design in Instagram; Russel Piccione on his visionary interiors and on the process of creating spaces full of ‘soul’; Béatrice Saint-Laurent and Laure Hélène Joseph on the program of contemporary design at the Paris-based Galerie BSL.
