Wainger Workshop: Cherish Chairs: Designing for Two
On February 13, we’re celebrating more than just love—we’re cherishing great chair design! At Cranbrook Art Museum, we invite you to explore the connections between design, comfort, and connection. In collaboration with visiting artist Kim Swift (MFA 3D Design ’24), we’ll take a look at the Tree Chair for Two, tour chairs in our collection, and create our own prototypes or mini chairs using unique materials. It’s a creative way to celebrate design and the connections we cherish, just like the people in our lives!
Kim Swift’s practice is an ongoing experiment to find and nurture interconnected ways of being – expressed through objects, furniture, installation, painting, sculpture, environmental design and participatory programs. In an increasingly chaotic and disconnected world, she is looking to engage audiences in the questioning of existing realities and the imagining of new ones. Her projects explore the rituals of our shared experience – the objects we live with, the spaces we inhabit, and the systems we navigate every day. Each is made whole as people become active participants in building meaning around a work, providing ways to understand further and facilitate human connection.
$25 per participant, $20 for ArtMembers, intended for ages 16 and up. Pre-registration is required through our website.
