đź§  Lecture: "Grandma's House is Cool Again: Trends Coming Back Around"

🎤 Speaker: Dr. Alessandra Wood


Ever wonder how or why your grandparents’ stuff can become cool again? Join us for a fascinating evening as design historian Dr. Alessandra Wood uncovers the stories behind beloved styles like Art Deco and Mid-Century Modern—and explains how trends rise, fall, and return to the spotlight.

Through vivid examples and visual culture, Dr. Wood will explore the history and cultural significance of past design movements and reveal which overlooked looks might be primed for a comeback. You’ll leave seeing your grandparents’ décor, the antique mall, and even your own home in a whole new light.

Dr. Alessandra Wood is an author, educator, and nationally recognized expert on design history. She has appeared in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Forbes, Architectural Digest, and more, and previously served as VP of Style at Modsy, where she helped reimagine how we design our homes.
