Effective August 3, 2020,  the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA) has renamed the the final four chapters in the Society's West District to be city-based. IDSA-Arizona is now IDSA-Phoenix (IDSA-PHX); IDSA-Northwest is now IDSA-Seattle (IDSA-SEA); IDSA-Oregon is now IDSA-Portland (IDSA-PDX); and IDSA-Rocky Mountain is now IDSA-Denver (IDSA-DEN). 

 

Ralph Caplan, H/IDSA (1925-2020)

 

Ralph Caplan, H/IDSA was an inimitable voice in the design world as a writer and educator, and particularly eloquent on design's role in catalyzing social change. "The designer's mission is to make things right," Caplan said in a Design Matters interview in 2010. "There is a difference between making things right and making things nice."

An honorary member of the Industrial Designers Society America (IDSA), Caplan died on June 4 at his home in Manhattan, New York. He was 95.

IDSA's Updated Member Directory

 

One of the many benefits of being an IDSA member is having access to and being a part of the IDSA Member Directory. The member value of being listed and the member service of being able to easily connect with other industrial designers is integral to IDSA's core pillar of community. It's also a powerful reason to join IDSA. Only IDSA members are listed and only members have access to the Directory.
