Everyday Design

Tuesday, July 25th, 2006

 Everyday Design: Great Finds from Around the World was conceived by the AIGA Center for Cross-Cultural Design in order to support AIGA’s mission of reaching out to the global community. By displaying items of everyday use from diverse cultures this exhibition will encourage visitors to make their own comparisons and be inspired by materials not traditionally considered “designed” objects. From the wood screenprinting blocks used to make sari patterns in India to the cartoon-like graphics on Japanese stationery, there are many beautifully designed and highly functional items that may inform and inspire other kinds of design.
