🧠Lecture: "From Minimalism to Maximalism: Icons of the Modern Interior"
🎤 Speaker: Dr. Alessandra Wood
Join us for a captivating evening as design historian Dr. Alessandra Wood traces the dramatic evolution of interiors across the 20th century—from overstuffed Victorian parlors to sleek modernism and exuberant postmodern spaces.
Focusing on lesser-known yet deeply influential designers like Elsie de Wolfe, Florence Knoll, and Ettore Sottsass, Dr. Wood will reveal how they revolutionized style, materials, and space planning, reshaping the way we live at home and work in offices.
An author, educator, and nationally recognized expert on design history, Dr. Wood brings a unique perspective from academia, museums, and the tech world, where she has helped reimagine how we design our homes. Her insights make design history accessible, relevant, and inspiring for everyone—from design lovers to the simply design-curious.
Discover how the objects and rooms around you are part of a larger story of culture, taste, and innovation.
