Past + Present: A Twist On The History of Design

August 19, 2009

As many of you know, I’m studying for my master’s in the history of design at the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Musem.  So, you can imagine my delight when I saw the new column over at Design*Sponge, Past + Present, written by my friend (and Cooper Hewitt alum) Amy Azzarito.  The bi-weekly column focuses on the history of designed objects accompanied by a related DIY project (genius!).  The first installment featured the history of chandeliers and a fun DIY project turning a chandelier into a beside lamp. This week’s column was on the history of the fork.   I can’t wait for the next installment!
