DESIGN DECODED

Date: Thursday, November 19, 2009
Times: 5:30pm to 8:00pm

Why does a toaster belong in a museum? David Hanks, independent curator and scholar, exposes us to the world of industrial design through the work of Charles and Ray Eames, Isamu Noguchi, Yves Behar and more who are a part of the Kravis collection. First, take our design challenge and use the materials we provide to create your own mini-chair. Then hear David Hanks' insight into the influence of design in our lives. At the end of the evening, prizes will be awarded for the best chair!
