Now open! ➡️ Occupying the entire first floor of the museum’s Carnegie Mansion, “Design Across Time: Exploring the Smithsonian’s Design Collection” showcases a selection of 125 works drawn from Cooper Hewitt’s collection. The exhibition expands public access to Cooper Hewitt’s historic and contemporary design holdings, including significant works newly brought out of storage, recent acquisitions on public display for the first time, and canonical objects of American and global design history. This multi-year installation of the permanent collection, which will feature rotations of objects throughout its duration, is organized in six thematic clusters representing some of the many approaches involved in the creative process and often utilized by designers. Designers Play and Tweak to experiment and iterate ideas. They Repeat elements to reinforce messages; Transform materials into sustainable solutions; Show Off craftsmanship to create objects of beauty; or Simplify complex shapes and information. The dynamic installation is designed by JA Projects (@ja__projects) with graphic design by Pacific (@pacific_pacific). From an introductory concentration of objects anchored in the central gallery, the exhibition extends through two dramatic axis vitrines that cut across the sequence of first-floor galleries. Combining a rich palette of textures from traditional and contemporary materials and leaning heavily on a graphic system of timeless collection object silhouettes, the display escapes traditional chronological readings. Tickets are available now.

Director’s Talks is a new series spotlighting design’s most defining voices in conversation with Director Maria Nicanor. On November 16, Mattaforma founder Lindsey Wikstrom offers an inside look at the studio’s research-driven approach to architecture, from mass-timber construction and plant-based materials to classrooms, homes, and community spaces designed for disassembly and reuse. 🗓 Director’s Talks: Maria Nicanor in Conversation with Mattaforma, 2026 National Design Award Winner, Emerging Designer Monday, November 16, 6:00–7:30 p.m. Tap the link in our bio for tickets. #NationalDesignAwards #DirectorsTalks #CooperHewitt 08 Nov 2026 As a student, Jack Lenor Larsen studied the Asian textile collections of the Seattle Art Museum. His 1967 design Happiness incorporates Chinese cloud scrolls and wave bands in an overall pattern for upholstery and drapery. The signature print remained in production for almost twenty years. TEXTILE, HAPPINESS, 1967 Designed by Larsen Design Studio Produced by Jack Lenor Larsen Incorporated Made in the USA Cowtan and Tout Larsen Archive Collection, Gift of Longhouse Reserve This object is part of Cooper Hewitt’s permanent collection and is not currently on view. #CooperHewitt #FromTheCollection #TextileDesign 01 Jan 1970 “The Shopping Bag: Portable Graphic Art,” December 9, 1978 to January 27, 1979 “The Shopping Bag: Portable Graphic Art” treated an everyday convenience as a canvas for design. Drawn from Cooper Hewitt’s own collection, the exhibition brought together more than 100 twentieth-century shopping bags alongside rare examples of their nineteenth-century precursor, the bandbox. The shopping bag worked twice over: practical for the shopper carrying purchases home, and a walking advertisement for the store that issued it. This is one of fifty photographs from fifty years of exhibitions in the Carnegie Mansion, shared weekly through next October. Photo: Installation view of "The Shopping Bag: Portable Graphic Art" at Cooper Hewitt, 1978 01 Jan 1970 On Thursday, November 12, in conjunction with "Frederic Church in Jamaica," Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award finalist Victoria Johnson shares the dramatic and consequential life of the artist Frederic Church, whose footsteps she followed around the globe for her new biography, "Glorious Country." Church’s curiosity, bravery, and passion for nature drove him to explore the world, but it was his astonishing talent that allowed him to bring the world to America at a time when landscape photography was in its infancy and most of his compatriots would never see a different country or continent. Exhibited to acclaim abroad, Church’s blockbuster paintings persuaded skeptical critics that the so-called “New World” could, in fact, give birth to towering artists and furnish the subject matter for great art. A master artist and citizen, Church brought the world to America, and America to the world. Thursday, November 12, 6:30–8 p.m. ET. Tickets at the link in bio.

Church, 1917-4-419. 01 Jan 1970 At the Hearth, a new weekly drop-in program in the Carnegie Library, begins today. Every Wednesday during the museum’s Pay What You Wish hour from 5-6 p.m., Cooper Hewitt curators, educators, conservators, and librarians gather by the fireplace for informal conversations and activities with makers, designers, thinkers, and writers. Alexandra Hodkowski, Curator of Public Programs, invites you to pull up a seat. To celebrate the museum’s 50th anniversary in the Carnegie Mansion, the first session takes a close look at Helena Hernmarck’s tapestry “Carnegie’s Dream”—part of the “Embellishments Series,” which Cooper Hewitt commissioned in 1978. Susan Brown, Associate Curator and Acting Head of Textiles, is joined by Mae Colburn, weaver, writer, and lead author of Hernmarck’s catalogue raisonné.

From Gio Ponti to Zaha Hadid, modern architects and designers have designed knives, forks, and spoons that embody the broader ideas that inform their architectural designs. Join design writer Dung Ngo (@misterngo), whose own extensive collection of modern flatware is the subject of his new book, "Knife Fork Spoon: Modernist Cutlery 1900–2025", for an illustrated lecture exploring some of the ways in which prominent modern designers have rethought what a place setting might look like, and what ideas it can express. The program will be moderated by Emily Orr, Associate Curator and Acting Head of Product Design and Decorative Arts, and is presented in conjunction with "Design Across Time." Tuesday, November 10, 6:30–8 p.m. ET. Register at the link in bio. Table Setting, “Electra Blue”, 1986 Designed by David Tisdale (American, b. 1956) Produced by Sasaki (Japan) Anodized aluminum Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, Gift of Sasaki, 1988-48-6/10 02 Nov 2026 Hear from designer Van Phillips on the Flex-Foot Cheetah Xtend running blade, now on view in “Design Across Time.” Phillips created the original Flex-Foot, a carbon-graphite prosthetic that stores and releases energy with each stride. For the Cheetah, a sprinting foot, he looked to the hind leg of a cat, where tendons running along the back of the limb stretch and release in sequence. Emulating that curve in carbon fiber produced a foot that flexes under load, stores energy, and returns it at toe-off. The simpler the form, Phillips notes, the lighter, cheaper, and longer-lasting the product. Listen to the full audio segment on the Bloomberg Connects app, and see the work in person in “Design Across Time.” #CooperHewitt #DesignAcrossTime 01 Nov 2026 As daylight saving time comes to an end, we're turning back the clock with a look at George Nelson Associates' Ball Clock. The Ball Clock was the first of more than 150 clocks George Nelson Associates created for the Howard Miller Clock Company, part of the Chronopak series of electric wall and table clocks introduced after World War II. Its painted wooden spheres on steel rods recall a model of the atom, a motif that appeared across American design in the late 1940s. The design is credited to Irving Harper, the industrial designer responsible for many of the firm’s clocks. BALL WALL CLOCK, MODEL 4755, 1948 Designed by George Nelson (American, 1908–1986), George Nelson Associates Manufactured by Howard Miller Clock Company Made in the USA Gift of The Mel Byars Collection This object is part of Cooper Hewitt’s permanent collection and is not currently on view. #CooperHewitt #FromTheCollection #ProductDesign 01 Jan 1970
