Do design objects really only belong in museums? It’s not an easy question to answer, as demonstrated by the young characters in this collection of short stories. One doesn’t realise that the portable grill his family takes on every hike is actually Daniel Cocchi’s famous Table Grill 310. Another has no idea that the small blown glass dish glove, a memento from their grandmother, is a work by Tillie Buren, entitled Inflated glove.
Design design offers an introduction to the world of design. Thirteen short stories bring (back) to life objects that we usually only come across in museums, inviting readers to reflect on the context for which they were often originally made: everyday life.
