Design Museum Media release:
From the radical simplicity of an apartment designed by Charlotte Perriand and Le Corbusier in 1920s Paris, to the 1960s vision of the future depicted in Stanley Kubrick’s film 2001: A Space Odyssey, the Design Museum is exploring how design has transformed daily life in the past century in Designing Modern Life to be presented for a year from 6 November 2004.

By reconstructing innovative design projects which dominated future developments in design, this exhibition will show how ingenious designers have harnessed advances in materials and technologies, as well as cultural, social and behavioural changes, to modernise how we work, rest and play.
