September Wednesday | SEPTEMBER 20 | 6pm

Navigating the New World of Design Media We may be addicted to electronic devices, but if you walk into an interior design office today, you might just discover bookshelves lined with hundreds of shelter publications. Inspiration will always thrive in their pages—from the latest glossy issue to those published decades ago—but there are a plethora of other options for designers to publicize exceptional work.

EV E 20 FA N 17 LL TS

Join design-industry expert Margaret Russell, editor-in-chief of Galerie magazine and former editor-in-chief of Elle Decor and Architectural Digest, and Rizzoli editor Carl Dellatore for a discussion on how shelter-brand content—both print and digital—is adapting to the new media landscape, and how this transition affects interior designers and architects.

They will also offer insight on how to best navigate social media platforms, design blogs, public relations, and the world of book publishing; Q+A will follow the program.

Unless otherwise noted, all events take place at

New York School of Interior Design Arthur Satz Auditorium, 170 East 70 Street, NYC

Tickets: $12 general public $10 seniors and non-NYSID students NYSID students, faculty, and staff are free To purchase or reserve tickets in advance, visit nysid.edu/public-programs or call (212) 472-1500 x405.

The fall 2017 Public Programs are sponsored in part by the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) New York Metro Chapter.

King Louis XIV’s favorite artist, Charles Le Brun, has often been described as a “dictator of the arts” in France —a statement which Dr. Burchard’s book reassesses.

Le Brun was a gifted and versatile artist, as well as an excellent painter and designer of tapestries, sculpture, architecture, and furniture. As Louis XIV’s principal painter and director of the Gobelins manufactory, he sought to translate the Sun King’s claim to absolute power into a visual form. This lecture will explore Le Brun’s different media and his relationship to the great monarch.

Dr. Wolf Burchard is an art and architectural historian, and a specialist on 17th and 18th century royal patronage. He is the British National Trust’s Furniture Research Curator and previously served as Curatorial Assistant at the Royal Collection Trust.

Copies of Dr. Burchard’s book will be available for purchase after the lecture.

This lecture is co-sponsored by the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art. Free to ICAA members.

Mitchell Owens Michael I. and Patricia M. Sovern Lecture on Design Editor, reporter, curator, and scholar of subjects ranging from architecture and design to social history and popular culture, Mitchell Owens has been the decorative arts editor at Architectural Digest (AD) since 2013.

Owens began his journalism career in the early 1980s. In 1989 he moved to New York City to become the articles editor of Elle Decor, where he would eventually fill the positions of interior design director (2000–2003), executive editor (2006–2009), and editor at large (2009–2010). Owens was the senior writer at American HomeStyle (1992–1993), and later the senior interior design editor of Traditional Home (2005–2006). Owens also served as a contributing writer at AD (1998–2000), and as special projects editor (2010–2013).

For several years Owens was a contributing writer at Nest, the cult shelter magazine, under editor-in-chief Joseph Holtzman.

He wrote, produced, and edited articles for The New York Times, as well as numerous other publications including T: The New York Times Style Magazine, Travel + Leisure, House Beautiful, The World of Interiors, Martha Stewart Living, and OUT, of which he was a founding editor. He has also authored several books, including Charlotte Moss Decorates, In House, and his upcoming book, Fabulous!: The Dazzling Interiors of Tom Britt, which will be published by Rizzoli in October 2017.

Join us for a screening of the new documentary Sebastián Errazuriz: Monologues in the Artist’s Studio by Palu Abadia, recipient of the Best documentary on Architecture and Design Master of Art Film Festival & Award of Merit in Docs without Borders Film Festival. The screening will be followed by a discussion, moderated by design historian Daniella Ohad.

With his own conceptual, comprehensive, and unique body of work, Chilean-born, Brooklyn-based artist/designer Sebastián Errazuriz has come to exemplify the designer in our modern age. Errazuriz’s prominent place in the world of collectible design, soon to be exhibited by London-based David Gill Gallery, is primarily because of his exquisite sense of beauty and a distinct aesthetic sensibility.

In his hands, even the most challenging realities and political instabilities are presented in a form with sensual beauty. He crosses the boundaries of art, photography, design, architecture, and fashion with instinctive ease, while demonstrating a deep understanding of the sensitive balance between art and the marketplace.

The Well-Dressed Window

In 2017, Mitchell Owens received a Doctor of Fine Arts degree from the New York School of Interior Design.

Henry Francis du Pont, the force behind the spectacular collection of American decorative arts at Winterthur, paid particular attention to the curtains in the period rooms—the selection of fabrics, the relationship to the architecture, and the seasonal hanging of curtains to match the changing light and color. AD100 designer Thomas Jayne joins Winterthur Design Associates’ principal designer Sandy Brown in celebrating her new book The Well-Dressed Window: Curtains at Winterthur (The Monacelli Press). Jayne and Brown will discuss du Pont as one of the early leaders of American decoration and how his extraordinary taste and eye informs interior design today.

Free and open to the public. Reservations are encouraged.

There will be a reception immediately following the lecture.

Copies of The Well-Dressed Window: Curtains at Winterthur will be available for purchase after the lecture.

Making Places: Designing for the Non-Traditional Media Canvas When you walk into a building’s lobby, an office, or a store that’s filled with static imagery, it often feels passive and indifferent to you, and its environment. We live in a world where we expect well-designed spaces to offer dynamic, relevant, and delightful experiences. Think of motionactivated media walls, slices of digital windows revealing unexpected views of the city around you, beautiful undulating architectural lighting that changes with the direction of the sun or speed of the wind, and other innovations customized for the specific experience of architectural space.

Drawing on his technical and creative expertise, Michael Schneider, ESI Design’s senior designer and AV technologist, will explore how to navigate both architecture and content when designing for this world of non-traditional media canvases. Schneider will highlight case studies of his recent projects that have captured the public’s attention and imagination—from Washington, D.C.’s Terrell Place to eBay’s Silicon Valley campus—and reveal how non-traditional displays are reshaping the future of interior spaces and design.

Presented in conjunction with Archtober. archtober.org

December Wednesday | DECEMBER 6 | 6pm

New York Living: Re-Inventing Home Paul Gunther, co-author of New York Living: Re-Inventing Home, will be joined by Tamara Eaton and David Mann, two of the design professionals featured in this new book, to explore outstanding contemporary examples of residential design across New York City’s five boroughs. Together they will examine the various forces at play making this the beginning of a golden age of design excellence. Further, we’ll explore how this golden age of design excellence is led by an unprecedented community of practitioners in both architecture and interior design. Issues of geography, including radical demographic shifts, will also enter into a lively panel discussion of the contemporary experience.

Copies of New York Living: Re-Inventing Home will be available for purchase after the lecture.
