Design fans, we’ve missed you. So it’s with great pleasure that we announce Product Placement’s fall series, launching Tuesday, Oct. 18, at the Rockwell Group’s New York office. The theme’s Extremism in design, a topic first put forth by Tom Dixon in his book of the same name. Our fantastic presenters for the event are:

• Upstart Ini Archibong, a 2011 Art Center graduate whose Serif task table is already being produced by Bernhardt Design.

• Multidisciplinary provocateur Joe Doucet, whose clients range from Braun, Target, and Moët & Chandon to Disney, Playboy, and Missoni.

• Lara Knutson, an architect and industrial designer whose luminous Nebula necklace currently graces the cover of the MoMA Design store catalog.

• Anna Rabinowicz of RabLabs, whose elegant objects for the home are born from her background in engineering and prosthetic design.

Seating is limited, with RSVP mandatory for building security. To attend, please send an email with your name and the number in your party to thisisproductplacement@gmail.com.
