Theory Tuesdays is now Theory at Reseda

After 13 years and 248 sessions, Theory Tuesdays has evolved into an elemental part of Theory at Reseda, a three-part format encompassing not only theoretical discussion sessions, but public talks and an extensive, on-site library focusing on design, nature, aesthetics and architecture.

The discussion sessions are held in either English or German (depending on the language of the book / essay) at the Reseda Zürich am Hauptbahnhof furniture showroom on Wednesdays from 7:30pm – 9:30pm. The sessions are free and open to the public. Join us!
