Design Real, Serpentine Exhibition

The Serpentine Exhibition, 'Design Real' was a presentation of ground breaking design. All the designs in the exhibition are mass produced and used in everyday life. Konstantin Grcic the curator of the exhibition says 'good design admits to the deeper insight that beyond performing a purpose in a good way, the purpose itself has to be good. All 43 items in the exhibition fulfil this idea in their own way. The relevance a product has to our life lies not only in its use, but also in how far we identify with it. A good product becomes part of our culture.'
What was really good about the exhibition was that fact that you recognised some of the objects and could buy them, also there was a central database where you could look into each design in depth and explore how they where created.
