In the News: National Design Week with Knoll (Part 1 of 2)

Knoll recently kicked off National Design Week in New York City with Masamichi Udagawa, Sigi Moeslinger and Lee Mindel at the event The Future of Design. We learned from our friends at Knoll that the event was a fabulous evening and this year's National Design Week was one to remember.


Cara McCarty, curator of the Cooper-Hewitt, hosted the event The Future of Design with Masamichi Udagawa and Sigi Moeslinger, known for designing the New York City subway cars and the Antenna Workspaces for Knoll, along with architect and product designer Lee Mindel. The Smithsonian's Cooper-Hewitt selects the National Design Award winners each year.




"Knoll was excited to host a conversation on design at the Knoll showroom," said a company representative. "The talk was a future-focused discussion on how design affects quality of life, which is a tenant of the National Design Awards."


The speakers and fellow National Design Award winners, Lee Mindel of Shelton, Mindel & Associates, and Masamicihi Udagawa and Sigi Moeslinger of Antenna Design also embody the mission of future-focused design.


Check back tomorrow for more on National Design Week to learn more about Knoll's event and read a few words from Masamichi and Lee.
