Pirouette – Turning Points in Design at MoMA
Design is a fundamental element of life, an enzyme necessary to our evolution. It helps us cope with change and permeates our personal and social lives, embodying both our strengths and weaknesses. Many designers are intent on creating new behaviors, focusing on habits and circumstances most in need of change. Pirouette: Turning Points in Designfeatures objects—from Post-Its to Spanx—that embodied experiments with new materials, technologies, and concepts; offered unconventional solutions to conventional problems; and had a deep impact both on design and the world at large.
Organized by Paola Antonelli, Senior Curator, Department of Architecture and Design, and Director, Research and Development, with Maya Ellerkmann, Curatorial Assistant, Department of Architecture and Design.
On show is the complete Porcelain Tableware Series, initially distributed as part of the collection by Thomas Eyck and produced by Frans Ottink.
