Collab: Design Excellence Awards 2023

Saturday, November 18,
6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. EST

Join us for this year’s Design Excellence Award honoring American designer Stephen Burks. An internationally recognized industrial designer, Stephen Burks and his studio Stephen Burks Man Made have been commissioned by many of the world’s leading design-driven brands. Collab is honored to present Stephen Burks: Shelter in Place, an exhibition that surveys the past ten years of his craft-centered, workshop-based design practice.

At this event, meet Stephen Burks and learn about his practice in conversation with curator Alisa Chiles. Burks will share how this exhibition explores new ideas regarding design's relationship to our spirituality, our homes, and our communities, post-pandemic. Afterwards, enjoy a light reception and preview the exhibition before it opens to the public.
