This class introduces the foundational texts that have shaped the field of design since the late 19th century, and theoretical texts by artists who address design in their works. Presentations focus on three-dimensional objects created for the mass market or interior design projects. Students must also design an object that is intended for mass production or interior decor.

Wendi Fox: Vase design
Objective: My idea for this vase came from challenging the typical shape of a vase. The object covers the surface spread out like a desolate landscape. It is more about the sculptural quality of the object rather than the object that it is meant to hold. The vase could be filled with nothing and still be a center piece on a table, or be lush, filled with short cuttings or living plants. It is reminiscent of a desert "landscape" but could be transformed by the plants it contains. This vase could sit in the middle of the table or even on the floor, and is designed with a modern simplistic household in mind.
Materials dimensions and cost: The vase is white and is made of a matte porcelain. Its dimensions are 3 feet long by 1 1/2 feet wide by 6 inches tall if it were a floor piece. It could be scaled down for a table piece. The smaller vase would cost approximately $400.
