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 somewhat forgotten. What and who is hidden behind the "appearance" of a chair or the "look" of a refrigerator? Journalist Artem Dezhurko in his lectures will offer simple stories about the Kandinskys of the furniture industry and the Matisses of the automobile industry. The seventh story will take listeners from Italy to Denmark, Holland and Finland. The programme includes: Denmark: Arne Emil Jacobsen, Finn Juhl, Hans Wegner, Jens Quistgaard, Arne Vodder, Peter Hvidt and Orla Molgaards-Nielsen, Arne Hovmand-Olsen. Finland: Antti Nurmesniemi. Holland: Cees Brakmann, Friso Kramer, Wim Rietveld.
