UPROOTED – DECOLONIZING FURNITURE DESIGN

24.10

Talk by Peter Schmidt Group
11:30 ADI Design Museum Uprooted explores how colonialism and globalization have shaped furniture design, from formal aesthetics to materials, while disconnecting traditional practices from their cultural contexts. The project gives life to a compendium that relocates a selection of furnishings within their cultural, historical, political, ecological and economic contexts. Divided into the Form & Material sections, the book analyzes culturally specific forms and materials, shaped by colonialism and global exchanges.
