ArtCulture Interview
Oct 15, 2008 · 0 Comment
I was interviewed a couple weeks ago by Ryan at ArtCulture about creating work inspired by the mid-century in the new century. Ryan’s a pretty great writer. Check out this incredibly exciting, and flattering intro:
It’s 1952 in America. The war was won, more people have jobs than ever before, and you just bought a house with a white picket fence. Things are on the up and up. Now, fast-forward to 2008. We’re neck deep in traffic, debt, e-mails and basically life is just too darn complicated. Against this backdrop there has been a thread of design harking back to a simpler time. A quaint time. It has many names: retro, mid-century modern, post-modern. There are few designers today that capture that simplicity and charm as well as Frank Chimero.
Read the whole interview, if you’d like to hear me blah-blah for a bit.
