About the Designer
Jozeph Forakis was born in New York City. He received his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Industrial Design from the Rhode Island School of Design and Masters of Industrial Design from the Domus Academy in Milan. His work is recognized for it's innovative use of materials and techniques, as well as for his ongoing investigation into the 'behavioral' influence of interactive information technologies in product design and in everyday objects.
The son of career artists, his cultural approach to design reflects his background in art and theatre with early professional experiences including set and lighting design for New York Off-Off Broadway. Other early experiences established his interest in research-driven design, with work in the US high-technology and biomedical sectors.
His designs have won several awards and have been featured in numerous publications, including the book SPOON (Phaidon Press) and 50 Lights (Mel Byars).
In 2003 ADI (Italian Design Association) presented a one-man exhibition of his work in Rome, the first-time in ADI's 50-year history to organize a show dedicated to a single designer. This show was also presented at Felissimo Design House in New York to coincide with the 2004 International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF).
His work has been displayed in many galleries and museums around the world, including the historic exhibitions Mutant Materials in Contemporary Design and Workspheres, both at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, where it now forms part of the permanent collection.
