New trends in studio furniture are on display in this exhibition of fifteen young artists. The artists, recent graduates of notable furniture programs, merge the traditions of fine craftsmanship and limited production with experimental materials and concepts. The result is a convergence of art and design in furniture that prompts reconsideration of our relationships with everyday objects. Curated by Dean Wilson, head of the furniture design program at MCAD, and featuring a fully illustrated catalog with an essay by Edward Cooke Jr., professor of American decorative arts at Yale University.
This traveling exhibition is made possible thanks to the generous support of the Windgate Charitable Trust.
