Deeply Graven Images

8.10.10

Our Creative Director, Janice Kirkpatrick, is off to Shanghai for the last month of the Expo.

She will be the guest of Messe Frankfurt, and will be talking at the Interior Lifestyle China event.

Janice’s lecture, “Deeply Graven Images”, explores aesthetics and meaning, drawing on examples of our work to illustrate the importance of craftsmanship, heritage, and place in design. What can designers do to combat the loss of meaning? What is there to value in easy global products, available and affordable by everyone?

Other speakers include Antonia Roth, Mark Braun, and Rianne Makkink of Studio Makkink and Bey.
