The Sheffield School has been educating students in Interior Design now for 25 years.  More recently, we’ve added our Feng Shui Course and our Wedding and Event Planning Course.  And this march, we are officially kicking off the 25th Anniversary Celebration with a brand new edition of Designer Monthly.
In this month’s list of articles, we’ve [...]

If you saw my previous post on the Bauhaus exhibit at MOMA (or if you scroll down to it now) you’ll see that MOMA has this terrific extravaganza of all things Bauhaus—paintings, sculpture, furniture, weaving, hands-on-workshops. Everything but a beer garden.

From the beginning of the 20th century to the end of the 1980s, Finnish design had a fascinating evolution that designers still learn from today. If you’re planning to be near Helsinki between June 10 and September 6 of this year, check out the exhibit at the Suomen Rakennustaiteen Museo. For details, see http://www.mfa.fi/frontpage

If you’re in New York City this week and if you’re into architechture, check out the two-day program at the Guggenheim. The title of the program, “Now What Architecutre?” is a quote from Frank Lloyd Wright himself, whose work and life are under discussion by present-day design and architecture greats.
You can go for one day [...]
