Design is one of the most characteristic features of the 20th century, and just like in painting or architecture there are talents and geniuses here. The names of artists and architects who changed all the art of the last century are widely known, and the authors of object design remain in some oblivion. What and who is hidden behind the "appearance" of a chair or the "look" of a refrigerator? Journalist Artem Dezhurko in the course of his lectures will offer simple stories about the Kandinskys of the furniture industry and the Matisses of the automobile industry. The 4th story will take the audience from Europe to America. The program includes: Norman Bel Geddes, Walter Dorwin Teague, Henry Dreyfuss, Raymond Loewy; Gilbert Rohde, Russell Wright, several designers of "local significance": John Gordon Ridley and Harold van Doren, Donald Deskey, Greta von Nessen, Kem Weber, Clifford Brooks Stevens.
