Make up Designing Surfaces

25.08.2010 - 02.01.2011

Ausstellungsstrasse 60,Museum of Design,Zurich , Switzerland

Products have a face with which they address their users  they want to be admired, understood or touched. In addition to their appearance, surfaces also have an effect on physical interaction. Such functional coatings are developed for industry and permeate many areas of everyday life as sportswear, car paint and eyeshadow. The wise use of this potential is a challenge for design. The exhibition Make Up celebrates the appeal of the surface and draws on all fields of design. It shows textures of design classics in the context of current coating techniques and tells an inspiring story of the surface of objects from our everyday world.
