Mark Your Calendar: Aftertaste at Parsons

Parsons’ reliably outstanding and thought-provoking Aftertaste symposium returns next weekend with a focus on objects. Aftertaste: The Atmosphere of Objects will “address interior experience through close examination of the way objects inform inhabitation, influence perception, and create social dynamics.” Things get underway next Friday evening as Mia Lundström, creative director of Home Furnishings at IKEA, sits down for a chat with interlocutor extraordinaire Susan Szenasy, editor-in-chief of Metropolis. Their discussion of possessions and personal statements (in which we hope to gain insight into what our growing mound of Alexander Girard-patterned pillows says about us) will be followed by design writer Akiko Busch on “The Language of Things.”
