Pratt Manhattan Gallery presents Design by Time, an exhibition with work from 22 international designers portraying time and its dynamic effects on fashion, furniture, textiles, vessels, and more.
Representing an international field, the designers in the exhibition go beyond the conventional intention of design—to give functional objects a visually arresting reality. Their analytic, formal processes are partnered with natural phenomena, chemical, and physical forces, while time-based acts such as performance and drawing are magnified to serve as collaborators in the design.
With work by Dutch Designers: Atelier Mark Sturkenboom; Maarten Baas; Sebastian Brajkovic; Glithero; Edhv; Diana Scherer; and Jólan van der Wiel.
