Michael Graves College Lecture Series Continues with Donald Strum

The Michal Graves College's Why Design? lecture series continues on Wednesday, October 19 at 5:00 p.m. in the Green Lane Academic Building (GLAB) room 617 with Michael Strum. Strum will develop the theme Resonating Beauty.

As a principal with Michael Graves Architecture and Design, Strum oversees the firm’s product, furniture, and graphic design initiatives. He played a key role in the development and the success of the firm’s product design practice. His first project for the firm was the now ubiquitous “Whistling Bird Teakettle” for the Italian manufacturer, Alessi. In 1997, under the leadership of Mr. Strum, the firm began a relationship with Target Stores that led to what many in the critical press have hailed as “the democratization of design”.

In 2005, after witnessing firsthand the challenges Michael Graves was experiencing with illness and paralysis, Mr. Strum and the Graves product design group made a commitment to transforming healthcare design services for the aging, physically disabled, and care providers. Mr. Strum and his product design group have brought over 2,000 consumer products to market over the past three decades.
