Design Trends + Transitions 100 Years Ago

Tamara Moscowitz, December 26, 2012
What exactly was happening in design 100 years ago? Truthfully, it was a year of endings.

Although Anton Schneider was born in Mexico and Andri Luescher in Switzerland, both men coveted the cachet that "Made in America" conferred when they were growing up.
