"Pioneering Toledo Designers Have Profound Impact on 20th Century Design"
2002-08-08 until 2002-10-19
Riffe Gallery
Columbus, OH, USA United States of America

Toledo Designs explores the role Toledo’s designers and workforce played in the development of modern industrial design in the first half of the 20th century. The exhibition shows how the ideas and products that resulted from the industrial design movement forever changed American life.

The exhibition looks at the designers who worked for Toledo industrialists and reveals how leading designers used their involvement with Toledo companies to help define their new profession. It also examines the Midwestern design aesthetic that came out of Toledo-a moderate, restrained, functionalist approach which was above all concerned with the realities of everyday life.
