Caring for an estate with Mariah Nielson


Listen Later

Mariah Nielson’s background as an architect has informed her work as a curator and design historian. She worked as curator at the Museum of Craft and Design, San Francisco, (2009–2011) and as director of the JB Blunk Residency (2007–2011). In 2013, she completed an MA in Design History at the Royal College of Art and the Victoria & Albert Museum, London. Mariah also co-founded the design brand Permanent Collection.

We talk about how she now cares for and stewards her fathers estate, work and legacy, in her role as director of the JB Blunk estate and Blunk Space; living in the home her father built, and conserving a home and archive situated in the woods.
