OFFJECTS: Designs and Concepts for a New Century

Description

The concept of the object has been left behind. The universe of objects or ‘offjects’ presented here is the work of the design generation from 1992 to the beginning of the 21st century. The classic definition of ‘design’ has been rendered obsolete.

This new typology of designer, more open, multidisciplinary and remote from the traditional commercial circuit, but on a new market pulse.
