New Olds

Design between tradition and innovation

New olds presents works by over 60 Israeli and international designers exploring design between tradition and innovation. They are inspired by historical references and symbols ranging from the deer antlers to the cuckoo clock, traditional porcelain, Baroque objects and the more recent history of Bauhaus and Memphis. The works are produced in a variety of techniques: old and new, artisanal and technological, from weaving, glass-blowing and wood-carving to rotomoulding and use of 3D software. The new olds exhibition aims to show the international and complex nature of this discourse in contemporary design. Over seventy designs have been curated around the themes of material, construction, configuration, production, design icons and traditional use.
