Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum in New York is presenting the fourth exhibition in the National Design Triennial series with start from spring 2010. No Picnic is represented with the concept for an environmentally sound car carrier, E/S Orcelle.
“Why Design Now?” will be on view from May 14, 2010, through Jan. 9, 2011, and will explore the work of designers addressing human and environmental problems across many fields of design from architecture and product design to fashion, graphics, new media and landscape design. Organized by Cooper-Hewitt curators Ellen Lupton, Cara McCarty, Matilda McQuaid and Cynthia Smith, the Triennial will be global in reach for the first time, reflecting the connectedness of design practices and the need for international cooperation to solve the world’s problems.
