Tracing the evolution of residential kitchens in North America, Hungry for Design assembled objects from two collections: the Stewart Museum’s Hotterman Collection of 18th-century utensils and the 20th-century Brill Collection from the Liliane and David Stewart Program for Modern Design and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.
In conjunction with curator David Hanks, the scenography that Diane Bernier Design (DBD) created, fostered the establishment of parallels and oppositions between the utensils of yesterday and today, highlighting the aesthetics of these utilitarian objects. . She managed the project from its inception, coordinating the tendering and implementation of the fit-out with museum staff, sub-contractors and external suppliers.
