A Letter from our Co-Chair

November 2025

Welcome! Collab and the Philadelphia Art Museum are proud to present Sebastian Errazuriz: Double Take, and together we will celebrate his vision driven by the infinite curiosity of art, design, and technology as our 2025 Collab Design Excellence Award Honoree.

Establishing the Collab Design Excellence Award in 1986 provided Collab the platform to recognize the work of legendary design leaders that were changing the course of design history. These walls have welcomed and honored George Nakashima, Ingo Maurer, Zaha Hadid, Patricia Urquiola, Dieter Rams, Marcel Wander, Gaetano Pesce, to name only a few. Their accompanying exhibitions were often the first of their kind in any Museum and often with challenging execution, pushing boundaries, as all innovative design does.

We appreciate your steadfast support and your boundless curiosity and pleased you are with us on this design journey. Our warmest Congratulations to Sebastian Errazuriz!

Warmly,

Eileen Tognini Co-Chair, Collab 2025

Take a Seat: Understanding the Modern Chair

Exhibition

Visitors to the Collab gallery at the Philadelphia Museum of Art have been treated this summer to a small yet mighty exhibition relegated to modern and contemporary chairs. Collab board member Rosemarie Fabien interviewed Alisa Chiles, Assistant Curator of European Decorative Arts, about the exhibit, which is currently on view until October 20, 2024.
