Inspired Design Lecture Series: Conversation with Don Chadwick April 22, 2010 (Doors open at 7pm; Begins at 8pm)
Born in California between the two World Wars, Don Chadwick was one of that generation of young designers who redefined the spaces where we work. Innovative, fearless, demanding and exacting, Chadwick was co-inventor — along with Bill Stumpf — of the revolutionary Aeron chair. Chief Curator of Industry at The Henry Ford, Marc Greuther will lead this lively conversation.
