Collection Strengths: Interior Design Collections in The New School Archives

A sample of highlights from collections in approximate chronological order related to interior design, interior designers, and interior design education.

The New School Archives documents the history of Parsons School of Design back to its founding in 1896 by collecting records produced by faculty, students, former students, and associates of Parsons. Because Parsons has been such an important design school for so long, and so many important figures in the design universe have either gone to school here, or taught here (or both), our collections can open a window onto many 20th (and 21st) century design practices, trends and changes.
