Katarina was interviewed for the documentary film, All Things Bakelite: The Age of Plastic. Using the outtakes from the interview, the film’s director and editor created this video. In it, Katarina gives a vibrant look at the design and product development inspired by Bakelite. Her input during the production of the video was invaluable.
Dr. John Decker, Chair of the Department of the History of Art and Design consulted; and Pratt Institute provided partial financial support for the video.
