Thank you to the New York Public Library for inviting me to speak!

Thank you to the Department of Art and Architecture at the New York Public Library for inviting me to speak about John Vassos last week! Over 70 people attended the talk in the gorgeous Celeste auditorium. I met with collectors of John Vassos books and radios and got some great leads for an exhibition of John Vassos. The audience asked hard questions - like how would John Vassos have designed the iPhone? I thought he would do it in a similar way to Jonathan Ives given Vassos's affinity for the Bauhaus School and for simple, clean design. Vassos's products are notable and recognizable for their simplicity of design, frequent use of geometric shapes, squares and circles and deep attention t the user. He always kept the user in mind especially when thinking about the user interface and touch, these are elements which has made Apple so successful in the design of their products.  My next talk will be at the Bowie Library on July 16. If you are in the Maryland/DC area, please come! It will be followed by a tour of the National Capital Television and Radio Museum. ​
