Friday Five with Steven Learner
For this Friday Five, we checked in with Steven Learner, whose diverse picks include a pair of comfy kicks and a mouth-watering sandwich.
The Collective Design Fair launched in New York City in 2013 growing into a much-anticipated part of NYCxDESIGN every year, highlighting an expertly curated mix of modern art and design. The fair’s founder and creative director, Steven Learner, recognized a void in the cultural calendar and started the creative platform as a way to engage and entice viewers with innovative design and vibrant installations from independent designers, artists, and galleries. Learner earned a BFA from Los Angeles’ Otis Art Institute/Parsons School of Design and then a Master of Architecture degree from Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design prior to his 20+ year career as both an architect and interior designer, including at his eponymous award-winning practice, Steven Learner Studio, where he has designed galleries, private museums, and residences. With Collective Design Fair 2018 in the rearview (it’s now held in March) and the capsule presentation, Collective Concept, coming up at ICFF, we thought we’d check in with the man himself and see what five things he’d pick for his Friday Five. Take a look. Photo by Steven Learner
