A major new show at the Design Museum examining the development of contemporary design through the contributions of seven important cities.
From the 1851 Great Exhibition in London to Adolf Loos in Vienna in 1908, the Bauhaus in Dessau in 1928 and Le Corbusier's Paris of '36. Then on to Charles and Ray Eames in LA in 1949, Milan in 1957 and Tokyo in '87. Then, full circle, back to our fair capital, which is once again the centre of design - or so we like to think.
There's loads of amazing stuff in this exhibition: furniture, fashion, prints and industrial objects. With work by William Morris, Eileen Gray, Achille Castiglioni and good old Issey Miyake, this is set to be one of the major shows of the year.
Until 04.01.09
