Mark McKenna is a design professional with an abiding interest in both fine art and elegant mechanics. Raised on a farm in Illinois, he attended University of Illinois where he studied industrial design.

His education brought him to Europe to study at the University of Northumbria in England and at the Ingo Maurer studio in Germany. He earned a US utility patent, the first of many, for his senior thesis project– a machine to be used for emergency used for emergency flood control. Mark followed his passion for design and engineering to Henry Dreyfuss Associates where he helped design John Deere equipment.

He founded his own creative studio in 2002, mmckenna LLC, serving John Deere, Caterpillar, Ingo Maurer, and Humanscale. In 2005 he launched his own line of products selling at over 200 retailers, and featured in over fifty national and international publications, including the New York Times, Metropolis, Popular Science, and others, culminating in a vote as one of Time Magazine’s top 100 designers. In 2008 Mark took a position as Design Director for Humanscale Corporation, where he oversaw a team of 25 designers and engineers, developing furniture for the contract industry. In addition to products, Mark has exhibited his artworks in New York City, Soul Korea, and most recently in Grand Rapids. He has subsequently moved to Steelcase where he is the Design Director for both Turnstone and Education and is now a resident of Grand Rapids, MI.

Roger Remington, the Vignelli Distinguished Professor of Design at Rochester Institute of Technology, received the Ladislav Sutnar Prize from the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen, Czech Republic on October 26, 2015.

The Ladislav Sutnar Prize
Since 2012, the Ladislav Sutnar Faculty of Design and Art has awarded the prize to honor outstanding international designers, educators, artists and institutions for their contributions to the world of design and art. Remington included a chapter on Sutnar in his 1989 book, Nine Pioneers in American Graphic Design, endearing him to many in the Czech design community. The Ladislav Sutnar Prize award ceremony was part of an international design gathering from Oct. 26-30. The one-week major design event will bring together representatives, teachers and students of top international schools focused on design and art.

Ladislav Sutnar
A highly accomplished designer in Czechoslovakia in the 1930s, Sutnar (1897-1976) moved to the United States in 1939 and remained in New York City for the rest of his career. The versatile Modernist designer made significant contributions to information design, many of which were chronicled in his book, Visual Design in Action, which summarized his major accomplishments.

The Ladislav Sutnar Collection, RIT Graphic Design Archives
The Ladislav Sutnar Collection numbers approximately 215 items dating from 1940 to 1970 documenting the work of Sutnar (1897-1976). The collection includes printed samples of Sutnar’s periodical covers, advertisements, catalogs, books, displays, and posters.

Approximately 50 items in the collection were part of a traveling exhibition developed by the Cincinnati Art Museum and funded by the Champion Paper Company. The exhibition display panels were donated to RIT by the Champion Paper Company in 1968 and transferred to the Special Collections in July 1991. The majority of items were obtained from the collection of Noel Martin. 

The collection was sorted and re-housed by Pei-Ying Wu in July and August 1996. Ms. Wu also created a folder-level finding guide for the collection which is available in its entirety as a PDF file by clicking here: Ladislav Sutnar Collection: Finding Guide.
via RIT Graphic Design Archive Online

The Graphic Design Archives at RIT document and preserve the work of significant American graphic designers active from the 1920s to the 1950s. In addition, selected contemporary designers working in the modernist traditions are also included. While many of the GDA collections represent the complete surviving work of a particular designer, some are smaller sample collections that document a portion of a designer’s career. The Archives are located in the Wallace Library on the Rochester Institute of Technology Campus in Rochester, New York.

Remington is the first faculty member in the College of Imaging Arts and Sciences’ School of Design to receive an endowed professorship and has authored four books on graphic design history as well as numerous essays.

Caroline Baumann, Director of Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, will visit RIT for a Design Conversations lecture on Tuesday, March 8, 2016. This lecture is open to the public.

About Caroline Baumann
Caroline Baumann became the Director of Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum in 2013, after serving the museum in various leadership positions for twelve years. During her tenure, Baumann has significantly advanced Cooper Hewitt’s mission to educate, inspire, and empower people through design. Baumann’s major initiatives include the restoration, modernization, and expansion of the museum’s home in the landmarked Carnegie Mansion; LEED Silver certification for the museum; a newly expanded and reimagined installation of Cooper Hewitt’s permanent collection; the development and implementation of award-winning, interactive museum technologies and exhibitions; the creation of Design in the Classroom, a free national design education program for students K-12; the rapid digitization of the museum’s permanent collection; and the opening of an 18,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility for the study, conservation, and safe storage of Cooper Hewitt’s permanent collection. Baumann spearheaded the museum’s most ambitious capital campaign to date, which raised nearly $91 million toward the transformation of the nation’s design museum into a dynamic, global resource for the public understanding of design.

From 1995 to 2001, Baumann held several leadership positions at The Museum of Modern Art, where she raised funds and awareness for the museum’s Yoshio Taniguchi building project. Prior to that, she was Director of Development for The Calhoun School in New York City.
