Russel Wright: Creating the American Lifestyle

The goods, and ideas, developed and commercialized by the American industrial designer Russel Wright, inventor of an informal and tasteful way of interpreting the mid-century middle-class American home, are at the centre of a large retrospective open at the Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum of New York.

Tableware, housewares, textiles and pieces of low-priced furniture produced in series have allowed the general public to get to know and appreciate design, combining daring lines with unusual colours, in addition to having the distinction of bringing industrial production techniques to the honored tradition of artisanship.
