To some, it can seem that design happens like Oz pulling levers behind the curtain. Look Behind Design, a specially curated exhibit, dispels some of the mystery with a behind-the-curtain view of how design happens at a group of Michigan-based companies including:

Brother’s Leather Supply Company
Chervon
Conduit Studios
Joseph Jeup
Mathison | Mathison Architects
Newell Rubbermaid
Tekna
Woosah Outfitters
Visualhero

The objects they’ve created take on new meaning with the design process behind them on full display.

This exhibition is on view as part of West Michigan Design Week
