Green Furniture at Milwaukee Art Museum
Green Furniture Design focuses on the concept of sustainable design,which centers not only around a responsible use of materials and
methods of manufacture but also on issues of object life span, energy
usage, and recycling/disposal. The exhibition explores how 21st-century
furniture makers seek to modify our aesthetic expectations—especially
when it comes to forms that are multifunctional, recyclable, or made of
alternative materials. Work by contemporary artists is featured
alongside historical objects, exploring roots of the green idea in
furniture design.
