IDSA & TEAMS Design are throwing a Housewares Show Happy Hour on Monday, March 23, 2009, from 5:30PM to late, at the TEAMS studios. For more info, hit the calendar!
From the same director who produced Helvetica, Objectified is a feature-length documentary about our relationship to manufactured objects and, by extension, the people who design them. It's a look at the creativity at work behind everything from toothbrushes to tech gadgets. It's about industrial designers, the people who re-examine, re-evaluate and re-invent our manufactured environment on a daily basis. It's about personal expression, identity, consumerism, and sustainability.
IDSA is proud to be a media sponsor for the Chicago premiere: April 28, 2009 at the Music Box Theatre, 7:30pm. Post-screening Q&A with Gary Hustwit and designers from the film. Tickets go on sale here Monday, February 2nd, at 12 noon CST. Special IDSA pricing of $15!

It's hard to believe it's already spring, as the year is flying by! We've completed eight events in only five months, the latest being a new members' welcome dinner and the launch party for Deceptive Design: Experiments in Furniture, a juried competition with the Chicago Furniture Design Association. The show will be held at the Chicago Cultural Center, right off Michigan Ave. Oct 2008 - Jan 2009, so foot traffic is guaranteed! There is still a bit of time to submit an entry, so act quickly!
