SUMMARY:Fine Design Book Launch and Discussion with Scott Klinker
DESCRIPTION:Join us to celebrate the launch of Fine Design: A Studio Guide
  to Remixing Design\, Art\, Craft\, and Industry\, a publication by former
  Designer-in-Residence of 3D Design\, Scott Klinker (CAA MFA Design 1996).
  The book is a guide to contemporary studio practice that combines instruc
 tional methods with significant student and alumni projects developed duri
 ng his years at Cranbrook Academy of Art. Scott will be joined in conversa
 tion by Director of Cranbrook Art Museum\, Andrew Satake Blauvelt (CAA MFA
  Design 1988)\, Nina Cho (CAA MFA 3D Design 2015)\, and Evan Fay (CAA MFA 
 3D Design 2016).\n\nScott Klinker designs furniture\, lighting\, and spati
 al systems that operate at the intersection of design\, architecture\, art
 \, and craft. Trained as an industrial designer\, he approaches each proje
 ct through an architectural lens\, exploring how people inhabit and experi
 ence space. \n\nHe has partnered with design-driven companies\, including
  MillerKnoll\, Alessi\, Steelcase\, Landscape Forms\, and Burton Snowboard
 s. His industry projects have received numerous professional awards\, whil
 e his limited-edition works are represented by Playground Detroit. \n\nKl
 inker earned an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art and has held professiona
 l positions at IDEO in Palo Alto and Sony Ericsson. Before returning to Cr
 anbrook\, he taught design for two years in Japan at the Kanazawa Internat
 ional Design Institute. His studio is based in Metro Detroit\, Michigan.

 at 6:30pm. Purchase an early copy of the book before its scheduled release
