This super early heads-up is well worth marking down on your calendar. From May 4 - September 23, 2007, the Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum will be showcasing Design for the other 90%, an exhibit that "highlights the growing trend among designers to create affordable and socially responsible objects for the vast majority of the world's population (90 percent) not traditionally serviced by professional designers." The exhibition will be divided into several dedicated sections including food, water, shelter, health and sanitation, education, energy and transportation, and will also display objects that benefit the large below-poverty level and natural disaster recovery demographics.
