Re-think the 20th century through six design concepts that shaped our history! The Bubble Club Sofa, BIC® Cristal® Pen, Akari Lamp, Hoover Vacuum Cleaner, DS19, and iMac Computer embodied the two requirements of a great design—they were innovative products and they were aesthetically pleasing. They were also instant successes with the public, influencing future product lines. DESIGN not only explores the development and concept of each of these archetypal products but also uses each as a lens to examine a larger social context. Combining archival images and film excerpts with music and popular culture, this unique documentary outlines the social, political, and cultural climate in which each item was invented. Using a contemporary style and narration, DESIGN bridges the gap between past and present. Language Options: English, French, and German. Comes with a Booklet in both French / English.
