Bringing about a sense of community among American designers, the American Design Club is highlighting their talented collective with their third exhibition, "Hue Are You," a show revolving around the theme of color in contemporary design.
Located at the store, shop, gallery and mecca The Future Perfect in Brooklyn, the exhibit will also be an opportunity to purchase some of the furniture, lighting, jewelry and home goods from the display, which will feature the designs of Kiel Mead, Kyle Cunniff, Peter Pracilio, Henry Julier and more, all of whom used color as the driving force behind each design. The AmDC hopes to remind Americans of what design already is and can be here in the States by celebrating our existing base of talent with this exhibit.
If you would like to attend the opening reception on 20 March 2009 from 6-9pm, please RSVP to info [at] americandesignclub [dot] com.
