This free, design-centric event features workshops, book signings, demonstrations, tastings, and sweepstakes – all with an eye toward the classic modern look and attitude.
Numerous speakers will address the historic precedent of modernism and how it continues to relate to today’s sensibilities.

Participating showrooms and stores will present their take on the modernism movement: H.D. Buttercup, Room & Board, Rejuvenation, Kohler Signature Store, Scandinavian Designs, The Rug Warehouse, Harbour Outdoor, Arcana: Book on the Arts, Louis Poulson and Carl Hansen & Søn.
