On Friday, September 21 at 10 a.m., the show will offer a complimentary one-hour CEU course so that area designers can stay up-to-date with industry tools, trends, products and best practices. Presented by Amy Funk, KnollTextiles Representative, this one hour CEU explores the development of post-war modern textiles in the US. It begins with the discussion of two design schools—Cranbrook in America and the Bauhaus in Germany and studies the development of a new modern design language. The presentation investigates mid-century textile designers and the design directors from various companies. The modern textile movement reflected a turn away from the conventional weaves of the post-war period to simpler textures, cleaner colors and more geometric patterns, resulting in modern textiles to suit the contemporary furniture of the times. Open to professionals. Pre-registration is required.
