See keynotes with Jonathan AdlerA famous magazine editor once put Jonathan down for rollerblading. His response? He skated home and never gave it another thought. What did he do when a snooty socialite told him the Japanese maple in his garden was “suburban?” He got two more of them. Life’s too short to cut yourself off from the things you’re cuckoo for just because someone else doesn’t like them. Love what you love, unapologetically. Remember: Those who rejected disco missed out on the party.
Meet Jonathan’s alter-ego: Ariana Kafka. Half positive pop sprite, half brooding, self-critical philosopher, “Ariana Kafka” combines the two essential parts of any successful creative person: self-love and self-loathing. When you love yourself you give yourself the creative freedom to ideate. Self-loathing, and the fear of inevitable failure, is what forces you to do the work to make your idea the best it can be.
Jonathan’s motto? “If your heirs won’t fight over it, we won’t make it.” How do you stand out in a crowded world? Banish the banal and embrace eccentricity. Life’s short; when you’re about to kick the bucket you don’t want to look back and see an endless haze of beige.
Get schooled in design history by potter and designer Jonathan Adler and learn how to apply the lessons of yesterday to today. Explore design through the names and movements you should know, and understand the foundational rules of decorating – so you can break them. Say farewell to feelings of intimidation when it comes to your interiors and embrace your most glamorous, eccentric self.
