In our face-paced, technology-dependent society, a handmade product has the power to forge connection between communities around the world and touch the soul of the consumer. The challenge facing contemporary designers today is how to work with artisans to preserve ancient traditions and techniques while creating something truly innovative, appealing, and relevant to today’s market. Lori Weitzner focuses on this timely subject in her CEU presentation “Forward Thinking: Handmade Products for the Modern World”. Drawing on her own experiences as a textile designer and business owner, Weitzner will explore the collaborative process of developing a handmade product for the modern world as she travels the globe.
Lori Weitzner, Principal and Creative Director of Lori Weitzner Design, is internationally recognized for her contributions to the world of textiles, wallcoverings, rugs, passementerie, stone, bedding, and other products for interiors and gifting. Her work is in the permanent collections of museums such as the Cooper Hewitt in New York and The Victoria & Albert in London. She is the recipient of more than forty design awards, and her work is regularly featured in the media, in such publications as Elle Decor, Architectural Digest, and The New York Times.
Additionally, Lori is the author of ODE TO COLOR: The Ten Essential Palettes for Living and Design (Harper Collins), A People Magazine “Pick.” There, she shares her unique perspective on the uses and significance of color in design. To complement the book, Lori has developed the ODE TO COLOR Analysis, which guides participants to the color world that will best suit their homes, enhancing the way they live.
