Joint project of the All-Russian Museum of Decorative Arts, Stroganov Arts Academy and the Swiss design concern Vitra will demonstrate the results of their work at THE ORIGINAL exhibition.
This is an interesting undertaking of Russian design students collaborating with large European industrial corporations. Students of the Furniture Design Department held a summer internship at the Vitra concern, got new ideas, took a different look at the subject and, most importantly, imbued with the spirit of cooperation and mutual sharing.
The results of this trip gave the foundation for this exhibition, where original pieces of furniture from Vitra will be presented. You can not only look at them, but also touch them, sit on them, and choose the best ones for yourself.
The second part of the exposition presents students' sketches of new pieces of furniture that they would like to see in stores, offices and people's homes in the future. The authors of the best projects will be rewarded with a trip to the Vitra campus.
