Mechanics' Today: LIFESTYLE BY DESIGN—The Latest in Home, Health, & Communication
SEE EVENT DETAILS
Moderated by Dawn Zidonis, Executive Director of SF Design Week/AIGA ( June 14 -22, 2017)
Design is everything. Technology and style enhance everyday life in ways that are helpful, healthy, habitual… and sometimes a hassle. What makes design work, have a "shelf life" and become a "classic", or drop out of view? Will our personal data be safe with the "inter-connectedness" of all these things?
We'll hear about mid-century genius Norman Bel Geddes, who designed everything from cocktail shakers to ocean liners to JAWBONE'S latest developments in wearable fitness trackers and wireless devices.
Panelists include and Andrew M. Lindsay, VP of Corporate Development at Jawbone, a world leader in consumer technology, and hardware and software platforms, B. Alexandra Szerlip, author of The Man Who Designed the Future: Norman Bel Geddes and the Invention of Twentieth-America.
