Cooper Hewitt's handed over the curator's baton, not to one singular person this time, but to a company--IDEO to be exact. The famed design firm hand-picked items from the museum's permanent collection to illustrate truly innovative, problem-solving designs spanning five centuries. The exhibit, both physical and online, utilizes three "lenses", Inspiration, Empathy, and Intuition, to "explore these objects and the very human impulses that motivate designers and the contexts in which objects are created and used." The online visitors to post personal commentary on each selected object, and they can even add their own object selections.
Using artifacts from Cooper-Hewitt's collection, IDEO presents an object-centered entry into design thinking--an approach to problem solving that is inherintly human in its drive to improve what already exists and create what does not.
