Functionally Challenged:
Designing Functional Objects with a Conceptual Heart and Soul
Thomas Loeser, Professor, University of Wisconsin-Madison
 |
 |
| Thomas Loeser |
A central focus of this presentation will be a discussion of the
value and importance of innovative design that pushes conceptual
boundaries, and challenges central ideas. Particularly, how can
basic forms be restructured, their potential function called into
question, while preserving the core concept, and profoundly adding
value? Loeser will discuss his design philosophy, how he produces
and distributes his work, and where he discovers its real challenges.
His presentation will include examples of studio furniture he has
designed and built over the last 20 years.
