Just One Word: PLASTICS
UNITED STATES
06-Mar-04> 27-Feb-05 |
|
Today, nothing underscores the technological revolution more than plastics. Not since the early 20th-century popularity of Bakelite (which will be featured in a simultaneous Institute installation as part of the ongoing "Case Studies" series) has plastic been so admired. Tutti-frutti colors, sensuous, tactile surfaces, transparent forms, and phenomenal tensile strength are but a few of the qualities fulfilling design needs beyond mere function. In the 21st century, functionality has become multi-dimensional and plastics appear to promise ever-growing purpose and pleasure.

Bakelite: Art through Chemistry
UNITED STATES
06-Mar-04> 27-Feb-05 |
|
While plastic is considered a "now" medium, the modern plastics industry stretches back to the 1920s and the mass production of Bakelite. Its potential was first developed in 1907 by Dr. Leo Hendrik Baekeland (1863-1944) now regarded as the "Father of Plastics." This exhibit explores how Molten Bakelite flowed evenly and gave rise to the smooth, "streamline" style so pervasive in the l930s. At that time the ideological thrust of Modernism stressed the importance of new materials such as Bakelite and, in turn, plastics became firmly associated with the ideals and spread of modern design.

MIDCENTURY MODERN is more than a fair. Struck by the confusion of decorative arts fairs where stock is piled high and crammed together and your senses are assaulted by every style imaginable, Showhome set about curating a new public event where mid-century and modern could be served together in easily digestible pieces. At MIDCENTURY MODERN dealers specialising in the best Modernist design sell next to young designers working today in the mediums of art, furniture, ceramics, glass and soft furnishings. Set inside the stunning glass, wood and concrete Christisson-designed sixties refectory at Dulwich College in South East London, it is the quality of the goods on offer, the personal touches and the camaraderie between dealers and designers that make for a real buzz of excitement.

Design is synonymous with neither the function of a thing or product nor with its purpose. On the contrary, design is the scent that includes both. Design has already dispatched to people a particular scent. However, there are many designs that have ceased releasing their scents. And some that have gone astray, emitting a scent foreign to their true presence. Challenge yourself to create design that simmers with fresh scents, appealing to us, warning us, striking a chord among us.

In imitation of the 1983 project by Alessandro Mendini in collaboration with Alessi, Tea & Coffee Piazza, the museum presents Tea & Coffee Towers. Also this time Mendini united a select group of architects whose mission consisted in reviewing the tea and coffee sets. The result is a collection of 22 sets, presenting a wide variety of forms and materials. Time and space, experimenting with colours, materials and forms, human surprise, beauty and surprise play a key role in this project.

Picture This: Windows on the American Home
29-Mar-04> 11-Aug-04 |
|
Windows play a defining role in both the architecture and the culture of the American home. From cozy dormers to expansive picture windows to ornamental bays, windows are important elements in the creation of architectural styles. They also shape our perceptions of the world beyond our houses by framing outdoor views, while at the same time offering glimpses into the lives of inhabitants. Their two-way transparency ? allowing insiders to see out and outsiders to see in ? has turned windows into symbols of access in the world beyond the home. Throughout our nation's history, windows have opened a view into the changing nature of American domestic life.
