Design Talents
Tomorrow at home - 40 hours exhibition shows the work of young design students from the Aalto University School of Art and Design, done in 40 hours. The idea behind the exhibition is to use one material, one method, one machine and 40 hours to design and make the most essential things we need. The chairs to support and comfort our body, tableware to contain the things we need and desire and the cloths we protect and embellish our body.
It is an intensive exercise of design, as an intelligent and sensitive use of limited recourses, raw materials, energy, space and time. It is an encounter between hard facts of life and fresh ideas, visions and dreams in design.
