This exhibition provides a thematic cross-section, the first major retrospective of the overall trends and points of high concentration in Danish industrial design from its rudimentary beginnings to the present day. Included are a wide-ranging selection of products: industrial product design in metal, plastic, etc., industrial furniture design, graphic communication, ceramic production, glass production and industrial textiles. Also design for the domestic spectrum of objects for the kitchen and the table, radio, and TV design, industrial chairs, office design, etc. At the same time, the exhibition goes well behind contemporary trends to reveal comparability and historical traces back to the early serial and duplicated designs of the 18th and 19th centuries.
