WEBINAR – The Story and History of Modern Design: Mid-Century Modern (Session 4)

Design educator and historian Daniella Ohad presents a unique online course exploring the foundation of modern design history. This intensive 5-session course provides an overview of mid-Century modern design in America, France, Scandinavia, Italy, and Brazil. By examining interiors, furniture, objects, building, designers, makers, methods of production, and material culture, students will develop an understanding of the history of design and its visual vocabulary.

*Depending on response, additional sessions will be added throughout the spring, exploring the major historical styles, evolutions, and movements that came to shape the story of modern design to the present day.
