    Description
    Design between Tradition and Innovation new olds presents sixty exhibits that explore design between tradition and innovation. Design has a short and highly successful history in the West. Outside the western hemisphere too design is gaining significance, and not just as a profession. What are seen as successful idioms are copied and varied, but many of the motifs that are sold as new actually derive from a historical context and formal idiom, and are self-contained products of one country or culture, representing a new interpretation of traditional forms. Designers today are taking a keen interest in tradition in both a strategic and formal and aesthetic sense in recycling and redesign, by transforming design classics and using traditional methods for new materials.The exhibition new olds. Design between Tradition and Innovation is the latest in a series of design exhibitions in which the Institut fur Auslandsbeziehungen e.V. (ifa) focuses on specific trends in design.With contributions from: Volker Albus (curator), Renny Ramakers, Gerrit Terstiege, Wolfgang Ullrich.Book to accompany international exhibition.
