PLASTIC: REMAKING OUR WORLD
PLASTIK. DIE WELT NEU DENKEN

Germany, Weil am Rhein, Vitra Design Museum, 26.03.2022 – 04.09.2022
 

We are proud to be invited by the Vitra Design Museum to participate in this exhibition. Our great pleasure is to contribute significantly by providing historical film footage, photography, and sixty objects on loan.

The exhibition Plastic: Remaking Our World examines the history and future of this controversial material. Featured in this display will be examples of product design, graphics, architecture, and fashion. All of the items included are from the Victoria and Albert Museum collections, the Vitra Design Museum, the Amsterdam Bakelite Collection, and other international collections.

After closing in Germany, the exhibition will travel to the V&A Dundee in October, which will be on view until May 2023. An additional showing is planned for Lisbon next spring.
