Exhibition
Spot On: Women Designers in the Collection
Vitra Design Museum
Charles-Eames-Straße 2, 79576 Weil am Rhein
The choice of the first annual focus topic reflects that women’s work – both in design and in other areas – often receives too little attention from historians, curators, and the public at large.
Veranstaltungsdetails
The focus topic, »Spot On: Women Designers in the Collection«, will launch in June 2021. Under its rubric, the Vitra Schaudepot will be transformed into a laboratory for exploring the role of women in furniture design and questioning the museum’s own collection practice. New acquisitions from designers including Inga Sempé, Reiko Tanabe, Matali Crasset, and Gunjan Gupta will be juxtaposed with historical objects from the archives, for example pieces illustrating the legendary collaboration between Ray and Charles Eames.
