Russel Wright: Living with Good Design
Widely regarded as one of America’s preeminent industrial designers, Russel Wright (1904-1976) was a household name in the 1940s and ’50s. A quarter billion pieces of his American Modern dinnerware line were sold between 1939 and 1959, making it the most widely produced line of its kind in history. Wright’s designs and concepts for a new, relaxed style of living transformed the lifestyles of a generation of Americans following World War II.
Russel Wright: Living with Good Design is the first comprehensive exhibition of designer Russel Wright’s work to be shown outside of New York state. Living with Good Design sheds new light on Wright’s career and fosters an understanding and appreciation for Wright’s lasting contributions to present day lifestyles.
