Design Museum Boston’s "Retail" Exhibit Opening
Posted in: Uncategorized
Thursday night, we were excited to check out the Design Museum Boston’s follow-up exhibit to “Creative Capital.” On display at the Prudential Center’s Huntington Arcade, this summer’s exhibit entitled “Retail: Retell. Recycle. Rethink.” was a collaboration between the Design Museum and a Wentworth Institute of Technology (WIT) industrial design class. “Retail” focuses on the increasingly important paradigm shift towards sustainable consumer goods through redesigned “production, distribution and disposal,” highlighting the life-cycles of shoes, cellphones, cleaning products, and water bottles. The partnership maintained a blog detailing the creation of the museum exhibit.
The wonderful exhibit was perfectly situated amongst crowds of consumers in one of Boston’s most popular shopping locations. Instead of designating a single point of entry, visitors can enter the exhibit any way they choose without interrupting the flow of the presentation dialogue. The Design Museum’s identity D logo (recently honored at the 2011 AIGA New England Awards) was emblazoned across the floor in the center, tying the two halves of the exhibit together.
