Design That Shaped America:
Huge gratitude to the organizers of Michigan Modern for making this exhibition possible, and to tour guides Greg Saldaña and Monica Ponce de Leon for taking a little time out on a Saturday to elevate this special experience into something extraordinary. According to MM: "In Michigan, industry and design intertwined creating an epicenter of modern design. Michigan’s visionaries touched nearly every aspect of American life. Detroit’s automobile manufacturers didn’t just produce automobiles; they styled them to become synonymous with the American dream. The state’s furniture manufacturers didn’t just manufacture furniture; they revolutionized the look of the American office and home. Michigan architects Albert Kahn, Eero Saarinen, and Minoru Yamasaki didn’t just design buildings; they defined an era."
