Teshia Treuhaft on how a dancer helped her be a better designer
A Better Future Through Design/Recorded 2014
A close reading, kept within reach.
Teshia Treuhaft takes product design as a lens on the larger question the festival keeps returning to: what design owes to the people and places it works among. The talk moves from specific projects toward a broader argument about practice.
Recorded in USA in 2014, the conversation is grounded in Teshia's own working method — the compromises, the constraints, and the moments where the work taught them something they didn't expect.
The closing turn is characteristic of the archive: less a conclusion than a provocation, handed to the audience to carry into their own disciplines.
This graduate of Rhode Island School of Design designed a series of inventive chairs that respond to the movement of the human body.
