It\u2019s no secret that architecture and design share a fraught relationship with gender. Wage gaps still pervade most firms\u2014even Studio Gang founder\u00a0Jeanne Gang<\/a>, despite her ideological commitment to gender parity, identified a small pay gap between men and women at her firm, which she promptly corrected. Meanwhile, a\u00a0harrowing survey<\/a>\u00a0of more than 1,200 architects determined that 85 percent of women have experienced sexual harassment at the office. And when once-beloved figures such as Richard Meier are rightfully exposed for predatory workplace behavior while a list of\u00a0Shitty Architecture Men<\/a>\u00a0circulates, one question remains: How do we move forward?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

For\u00a0Female Design Council<\/a>\u00a0(FDC) founder Lora Appleton, who also masterminds children\u2019s design gallery\u00a0Kinder Modern<\/a>, this issue is of particular urgency. During NYCxDesign 2018, she teamed with Egg Collective to co-curate the beloved Designing Women exhibition, which shone a much-needed spotlight on standout female design talent. (One participant had work placed in a major art museum after the show.) In Appleton\u2019s eyes, women often fall victim to surface-level impressions\u2014images and stereotypes the patriarchy makes it difficult to shake.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

That\u2019s why, during this year\u2019s NYCxDesign, she\u2019s embarking on a similar mission to champion female designers who push the envelope in terms of form, material innovation, and preconceived notions of how objects should look and feel. When online marketplace 1stdibs opened their first bricks-and-mortar gallery space in Chelsea earlier this year, a lightbulb moment ensued: Why not give these women a platform to showcase their talents? Thus birthed the idea for \u201cDeeper Than Text,\u201d an exhibition of 19 female designers who hail from such far-flung locales as Beirut to domestic hubs like Los Angeles. The show seeks to redefine how female designers are perceived by transcending the mundane and positioning their objects and artworks as deep and dynamic\u2014much like the women who create them. We sit down with Appleton and 1stdibs\u2019 Cristina Miller to learn more.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
