This exhibition is a collaboration with Vitra Design Museum, Barcelona Design Museum, Victor J.
Papanek Foundation and University of Applied Arts Vienna, with a contribution from the German Federal Cultural Foundation.
This autumn, Design Museum Den Bosch presents the work of the visionary designer, critic and activist Victor Papanek
(1923-1998).
His famous book Design for the Real World: Human Ecology
and Social Change (1970) represents a radical vision of design in which sustainability and social justice are more important
than consumption and commerce. The exhibition shows both a retrospective of his work and the way in which young designers
are working on these themes more than ever.
