Boezels exhibit in "Safe: Design Takes on Risk"
The Boezels-project will be exhibited with three pieces in "Safe: Design Takes on Risk" at MoMA later this year. What the hell is a Boezel? According to the website, Boezels are a range of high-quality abstract animal friends, for inside your living room by Twan Verdonck from Neo Human Toys.
"Safe," organized by Paola Antonelli, Curator, Department of Architecture and Design at MoMA, features approximately 300 products and prototypes designed to protect the body and the mind from dangerous or stressful conditions, to respond to emergency situations, to ensure clarity and information, and to provide a sense of comfort and safety. Ranging from pacemakers to shelters for the homeless, baby strollers, and the display of nutritional information, "Safe" will explore the fine line that divides function from emotion, a line that is tread with skill and poetry by contemporary designers.
