WARD BENNETT X PIN–UP: A SPECIAL VIDEO TRIBUTE

In the pantheon of American design, Ward Bennett (1917–2013) holds a unique place. A Modernist at heart, he also had an uncanny knack for imbuing monochromatic schemes and industrial materials with sensuality and elegance. On the occasion of what would have been his 100th birthday, PIN–UP pays tribute to Bennett’s multifaceted oeuvre with this short film, staging many of the designer's iconic pieces still in production today, including the Sled Chair, the Landmark Chair, and the I-Beam table.

To accompany the tribute video, PIN–UP also produced WARD BENNETT X PIN–UP, a 16-page print publication that comes as a supplement to PIN–UP 23, Fall Winter 2017/18.
