New York’s Museum of Arts and Design present a series of public programs exploring the current state of contemporary furniture design. Guest curated by Surface editor-in-chief Dan Rubenstein.

Exploring the state of contemporary American furniture design, the series The Home Front aims not to make judgments on the merits of American design, nor to promote particular agendas. Instead, this series gives the otherwise disparate voices on the opposite ends of the industry—from architects and retailers to independent designers and educators—a chance to engage the public and shed light on the inner workings of an industry that often goes underappreciated.
