Raised in Memphis, Tennessee, Kavanaugh became in 1952 only the third woman to earn a degree in Cranbrook Academy of Art's design program. After successful stints as one of GM's so-called Damsels of Design and as director of interiors for Victor Gruen's architecture and planning firm, she opened Gere Kavanaugh/Designs. There, Kavanaugh put her unique stamp on textiles, furniture, toys, graphics, store and restaurant interiors, holiday decor, housewares, and public art---even designing and curating exhibitions. But perhaps her most enduring project has been the joyful, open-ended, ongoing experiment of her own lifestyle and homes, a dream of color and handcraft. Kavanaugh was awarded the AIGA Medal in 2016, recognizing her "prodigious and polymathic approach to design." --Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Kavanaugh, Gere, $d 1929- 650 0 $a Designers $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Women designers $z United States $v Biography. 700 1 $a Catmur, Kat, $e author. 700 1 $a Cheung, Jennifer, $e photographer. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231018022602.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190702013928.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=69DBB43C875711E9A56C064497128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
