Exploring the Latest in Green Design

FROM NEW YORK The exhibit “Design for a Living World” at the Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum in New York focuses on the work of 10 top designers (including Yves Behar, Maya Lin, Isaac Mizrahi, and Hella Jongerius), who were commissioned to create products made from sustainable materials from various regions. Even the show's installation makes use of green practices. We talked with co-curator Ellen Lupton about what eco-friendly design really means. The exhibit is on view at the museum through January 4, 2010, and then it travels to additional U.S. locations.

What are some common misconceptions about green design?
Green design has become a huge term that encompasses nearly anything—from herbal shampoo in a green plastic bottle to genuine innovations in solar energy. Designers, marketers, manufacturers, and inventors are looking at sustainability from every possible angle. Some of it's legitimate, and some of it's just green-washing. Almost all of it involves compromise, and I believe that the future of sustainability will necessitate give and take. MORE >>

Isaac Mizrahi adores daisies. Orchids? "I would never trash them, but I wouldn't encourage them," he said at Ivy Room at Tree Studios on Friday evening. The designer divulged those floral preferences—along with his astrological sign and details about his target customer—during a 15-minute Q&A that took place at CS magazine and Carson Pirie Scott's private launch party for Mizrahi's Liz Claiborne New York collection (which is available at Carson's).

CS magazine's senior events and projects manager, Samantha Saifer, worked with Heidi Frank, publicity manager for the Bon-Ton Stores Inc., to plan the appearance. The duo arranged for the evening to kick off with an hourlong media reception. While Mizrahi held court in front of a step-and-repeat dotted with Carson Pirie Scott and Liz Claiborne logos, local style writers interviewed him and snapped photos. MORE >>
