The first in a series of pop-up exhibitions, Designing for our Future selves – NEW OLD is now open in the Helene and Johannes Huth Gallery of the Design Museum, 12 January 2017 – 19 February 2017.
NEW OLD explores how design can help people lead fuller, healthier and more rewarding lives into old age, asking the question: how can designers meet the challenge of a rapidly ageing society? From robotic clothing to driverless cars, this exhibition rethinks design approaches to ageing.
Created to mark the 30th anniversary of Helen Hamlyn’s pioneering New Design for Old exhibition; NEW OLD revisits and rethinks the challenge of designing for our future selves.
The exhibition is curated by our Visiting Fellow Professor Jeremy Myerson and the Institute has contributed significantly to its content.
The private view last night was attended by Professor Sarah Harper and Dr George Leeson.
