Collecting modern and contemporary design has become one of the most dynamic, influential, and intriguing territories in the international marketplace, standing at the forefront of style and taste. While initially fueled by the fine arts market, collecting design has emerged as a discipline in its own right; one that dominates high-brow interiors and attracts those who value living with the finest design. The market has become a global barometer of trend forecasting, signifying the language, directions, and taste of our time. Collecting design has come forward as a source of taste-making and trend forecasting, generating market reports, art fairs, museum exhibitions, research projects, scholarship, monographs, and endless headlines. Collecting design inspires scholarly analysis, art fairs, museum exhibitions, and monographs, and was cited recently by the Wall Street Journal as a lucrative avenue of investment.

This unique program educates architects, interior designers, design lovers, and art collectors in this fascinating world. It focuses on various themes which have a central place in the collectible design world. Lectures are accompanied by conversations with leading experts, including curators, collectors, dealers, and scholars.

For the Fall 2019 season of Collecting Design: History, Collections, Highlights, instructor Dr. Daniella Ohad will host: Derek Ostergard on Viennese modern design and the innovation of the Wiener Werkstätte; 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 learning about collecting design through Instagram; Russel Piccione on how collectible pieces of furniture and objects help him in the process of creating interiors of ‘soul’;  Béatrice Saint-Laurent and Laure Hélène Joseph on the program of contemporary design of Parisian Galerie BSL.
