This exhibition provides a thematic cross-section, the first major retrospective of the overall trends and points of high concentration in Danish industrial design from its rudimentary beginnings to the present day. Included are a wide-ranging selection of products: industrial product design in metal, plastic, etc., industrial furniture design, graphic communication, ceramic production, glass production and industrial textiles. Also design for the domestic spectrum of objects for the kitchen and the table, radio, and TV design, industrial chairs, office design, etc. At the same time, the exhibition goes well behind contemporary trends to reveal comparability and historical traces back to the early serial and duplicated designs of the 18th and 19th centuries.

A catalog exploring the philosophy of Kontrapunkt, a Danish design firm, that has designed the use of the Danish royal logo for a number of institutions. In the design process, Kontrapunkt works across existing design disciplines in order to create coherence between intent, function and experience. They granted a number of state institutions a contemporary expression combining openness with natural authority by using powerful expressiveness and the idiom of heraldry in a new way thereby giving the crown a new content. The crown that used to signal unrestricted power and, later, stuffy departments, but now signals a dialogue-seeking, democratic state. A beautiful guide highlighting the design programs that have reinvigorated this weighty historical symbol.

Some international symbols - like the male and female figures on restrooms - are so ubiquitous it's easy to forget that they were actually new at one time, and that someone actually designed them. In fact, it's possible that no designers' products ever touch more people than these ingenious pictograms, which could be called the ultimate clip art. Even with the most extreme reduction to essentials, their drawings are capable of conveying sensuality, surprise and precise information, wrote the seminar Swiss typographer Hans-Rudolf Lutz - I have come to admire these unsung designers. This delightful book - a sure source of wonder and inspiration for professional designers - details a Swedish national competition aimed at creating standards for making public symbols more uniform and useful, in keeping with the concept of Design for All. Making important information clearly available to everyone is more than a matter of design - it's a matter of democracy and human rights. Competition entries are presented by category such as medical center, library, playground, travel center, evacuation meeting point and internet café. The winning entry, the nominated entries and the honorable mentions are presented in their entirety. All wonderful ideas coming soon to a wall near you. Register of Competition Participants included
