Lecture by Artem Dezhurko at the Garage Museum. About the centers of avant-garde design in Europe in the 20-30s. Design is one of the most characteristic features of the 20th century, and just like in painting or architecture, it has its own talents and geniuses. The names of artists and architects who changed all the art of the last century are widely known, while 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 third story unfolds in Europe in the 20-30s. The program: VKHUTEMAS. Eileen Gray. Le Corbusier and the designers of his circle: Pierre Jeanneret, Charlotte Perriand, Jean Prouvé. Frankfurt Kitchen. De Stijl. Alvar Aalto.
