One of the distinguishing characteristics of the 20th century has been the
steady rise and prominence of design, which now permeates every aspect of
society. But who are the men and women behind these products so prevalent
within all aspects of life? Who is the individual behind the appearance of a
chair or the image of a refrigerator? This series of lectures aims to seek out
the unsung heroes of the design world, and reveal the processes involved in
creating iconic design classics. Throughout this series, journalist Artem
Dezhurko will introduce the creative personalities working in furniture
manufacturing and the automobile industry, giving the world of design a human
face.
The second lecture in this series will look at the weird and wonderful world of
the Bauhaus. Dezhurko will regale us with tales of Bauhaus designers: Mies van
der Rohe, Marcel Breuer, Josef Hartwig, Peter Keler, Marianne Brandt, Wilhelm
Wagenfeld and Christian Dell, and in the process of storytelling, he brings the
design process to life.
