Vitra's Hidden Heroes

. Friday, September 17, 2010


Visit this amazing site and learn about all the brilliant things we take for granted.

"The Vitra Design Museum, in association with Hi-Cone, presents "Hidden Heroes", an exhibition dedicated to these common objects that we use on a daily basis — coffee filters, ear plugs, bottle caps, clothes pins, etc. — without ever knowing their history, their inventors.

This exhibition introduces these everyday heroes together with patent drawings by their inventors, with historical and contemporary advertisements and films, and also with design and art objects that have been inspired by them.

The exhibition has an online presence through a beautifully crafted website designed by Grimm Gallun Holtappels.
