Design 2

Re-think the 20th century through six design concepts that shaped our history. The Bookworm, Concorde, Conica coffeemaker, Leica camera, Eames lounge chair, and Vespa scooter not only reflect the era that produced them but they also anticipated the future. DESIGN 2 explores the development and concept of each of these archetypal products while examining the larger social context. Combining archival images and film excerpts with music, this companion documentary to our earlier release DESIGN(DV94245), outlines the social, political, and cultural climate in which each item was invented. Using a contemporary style and narration, DESIGN 2 is hip, fun, and informative.
