Salon: Designer and Curator Matthew Bird on the pioneers of Industrial Design
February 10, 2012
Add Review/Comment
Bird teaches the History of Industrial Design at RISD, has been a practicing designer since graduating from RISD in 1989, and curates the collections at his store, The Curatorium. He will discuss the US Postal Service’s 2011 introduction of a sheet of stamps celebrating Industrial Design and 13 pioneering designers. He’ll show how the USPS’s strange choices left out some of the profession’s true pioneers, and represented others with work that doesn’t show them at their finest. By revisiting the objects and designers that were selected, Bird will introduce the important aspects of Industrial Design and discuss its history and role in forming the world we inhabit.
