AWID's favorite links section.
Since they seem to like us (we are one of their top design sites) we will return the favor and kick off this section with a link back to them. Metropolis Magazine On-line:
AWID's largest collaborative project to
date is presenting the exhibition
Goddess in the Details: Product Design by Women.
AWID published a 60 page catalogue
which includes historical information as
well as text and photos on each of the
designers. Design professionals, librairies,
bookstores and organizations throughout
the United States, Canada and Europe
have ordered our book.
There are over 50 accompanying photos, biographical information as well as information about each designer's point of view.
You will also find an historical section with information on some of the forerunners of modern design such as Eileen Gray, Suzanne Vanderbilt and the Damsels of Design, who worked for General Motors.
See what women are designing...furniture, medical equipment, airport seating, speedboats, watches, computer equipment, car batteries and more.
