Hewitt-Cooper National Design Triennial: Inside Design Now
Published on November 10, 2003
This weekend, I found some time to check out the second installment of the Design Triennial, on display at the Smithsonian Institution’s Museum of Design on Manhattan’s Upper Eastside (until January 25, 2004).
The exhibits celebrates the technological innovations, artistic evolution and cultural impact of design, and reviews new ideas and future horizons across the fields of current practice, from architecture and interiors to product design, fashion, graphic design and new media. It is the only exhibition of its kind in the nation.
It is unique, indeed, and it was a fantastic experience for someone so connected to design. I’ll talk about the designers in the coming weeks, but I hope that I won’t need to convince you to go check it out yourself…
