During her extraordinary design career spanning nine decades, Eva Zeisel produced highly recognizable domestic items that changed the way Americans set their tables and furnished their homes. Zeisel was widely regarded as a master of modern design who created objects that were beautiful as well as useful. Join us for a celebration of Eva Zeisel and her influence on contemporary design.

Jed Perl, art critic for The New Republic, will discuss Eva Zeisel’s life and legacy in a new series of Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum conversations, hosted by Bill Moggridge. They will be joined by designers James Klein and David Reid, who collaborated closely with Zeisel on a series of ceramics and prints.
