-Students from SAIC, in collaboration with Danese Milano and American designer Jonathan Olivares, examined contemporary behaviors and contexts of education, study, and learning. The resulting objects, designed with an eye toward commercialization, reflect our new ways of working and challenge existing typologies of furniture and accessories.-
Also we will be showing in a group show for The School of the Art Institute of Chicago in Salone Satellite. The show is called 'Objects for the Age of Obama' and we will have
'The Democracy Tool Kit' on display. Here's a description:

From President Obama's hometown of Chicago, SAIC students explore and re-imagine everyday objects, adding a measure of "Obama-ness." Students take on the ordinary, but in extra-ordinary ways, through the examination of the United States' contemporary domestic milieu and our place within international affairs. The resulting objects envision the quotidian though the lens of the Obama promise and its problems.
