High-Touch

High-Touch unites Ward Bennett and Joe D’Urso for the first time, exploring their shared vision of total design. Drawing from the MillerKnoll Archives and private collections, it reveals how minimalist forms emerge from a rigorous, hands-on process that creates space for human experience and interaction.

High-Touch brings together the work of Ward Bennett and Joe D’Urso for the first time, exploring their shared philosophy of “total design”—where architecture, interiors, and objects are conceived as one cohesive environment. Drawing from the MillerKnoll Archives and private collections, the exhibition reveals how their seemingly minimalist work is rooted in an intensely hands-on, detail-driven process that ultimately creates space for human experience, interaction, and emotion.
