Inaugurated on April 1, 2020, Design in Dialogue is a series of online interviews hosted alternately by curator and historian Glenn Adamson and designer Stephen Burks. Conversations are held on Zoom every Wednesday for 1 hour, beginning at 11am Eastern Standard Time, including a participatory Q&A. Please join leading voices from the field — designers, makers, critics, and curators — as they discuss their work and ideas.

Wednesday May 5: Ronan Bouroullec is, without doubt, one of the most prolific and influential designers of our time. For more than thirty years, together with his brother Erwan, they have redefined in a singular and poetic manner the typology of a wide variety of objects present in our daily lives; and at the same time, the role of the designer itself. But Ronan is a craftsman above all, someone close to the materials and processes that he personally shapes with a special care for detail. His artistic and creative approach is —as he says—‘free of any methodology’, leaving enough room for intuition and improvisation. RSVP HERE
